Holy cow 250 for a hid kit!!! I did headlights and fogs 55watt kit for about 120 shipped!! I would also do a sct tunner from what I have been told its better than superchips. Everything else looks about right to me.

ditch the throttle body spacer, its a paper weight on the 4.7s go with a bored out tb bunch of people on here have fastmans. the bulbs you need are i believe 194s i got mine from superbrightleds.com good prices and they have the sockets and everything, spend the extra bit of money and get the brighter ones they make a difference

Just when you click add to cart it will ask you what bulb and how many k you want, its in the same row as description and reviews. Let me know if you have anymore questions ill be glad to help you out.

i bought 8k hids but havn't installed them because i am probably picking up a new dakota, but i heard to watch how high you go with hids because it can actually melt. But im think 10 should be safe! i got my hid kit for 65.. idk where you saw 250 lmao

Also like said before! do a fastman throttle body that thing i got is amazing i love it, i would also go with hct tuner, i have a superchips which works good but regret not getting the hct, also i think you can do the TMR mod and do a high flow cat
