Default Just put in H.I.D in and wow they look mint!!

A buddy of mine did a group order of H.I.D kits, so we got a pretty good deal i think. They were 90 dollars each. Put them into today and wow they look great!! There only the 4.3k and they look good. Not too crazy blue but still nice enough. Ill try and get some pics as soon as i can.

Another question wat kind of bulb is the replacment fog light? I wanna know because i wanna get H.I.D's for those too. Im maybe guessing there H3 maybe H4?

thanks

They make a HID for the fog for our truck? I have been looking and cant find them. If i cant find one ill just go and buy fogs with a blue tint to them to match the lights. The fogs are sort of useless now the HID's are soo bright!! I would go with the 4.3 k there still blue but not super blue. Plus 4.3k gives you best light qualitly. Ill take some pics and post them soon. I gotta find my camera.

The big down side on all the kits I have seen is you lose your high beams with the HID kits, if you go to high output on the foglight turning them into driving lights with high wattage you end up melting the covers......might want to look into a full replacement kit for the foglights if you want to upgrade there are some nice kits out there and might do well in helping your missing high beams.

I went and mounted 2 6" offroad lights. Took out the 50 watt bulbs and replaced them with 100's. You wanna talk about bright!! I can't even think about using them when some is comin my way.
