Default Finally finished (HID with halo) :)

Well I finally finished the conversion. I bought the Halo Led Projectors off ebay, roughly 150. Then I got the Bosch HID Kit for 150, full lifetime warranty and install was free. I picked out 6000K. Its the Digital ballast so it takes about 2-3 seconds for full warm up. I'll post pictures tonight when it gets dark.

Just a 98 Dak, 5.2L, lowered, tonneau cover, with blue black devil bed stripe. Gotta have the exhaust too , altezza tail lights. You'll see it better when I get the pics tonight.....getting dark soon . I'll get a vid of the lights warming up. Its pretty cool, they start at light blue, then get brighter and brighter

The clear ones look nice, but all I can say is that you get ALOT more looks and compliments with the halo's. Once it starts to get a little dark I'll drive around with them on and leave the low beams off. Its pretty funnny when you get a truck full of kids in another dakota drive by and just stare. Some older guys ask me what they are and where I got them. HID's look alot better in projector lens, gives it a more crisp look.
