Okay so I just put in new headlights last month and now have decided to add HID's to them. I have been doing quite a bit searching and found quite a bit of info that has helped. I have decided to go with the 6000k for the color because from what I've read that seems to be the brightest color. I have also seen that there is 35 watt and 55 watt HID kits. My question is besides the wattage which I'm assuming will help with the light output, what is the other main differences and which one would be best to get? I do quite a bit of night driving on country roads which aren't lit and if there is a deer I want to see it before I get to it. Also if anyone has any advice on the color I wouldn't mind that either.

 

6500 x 35 fogs here. It's technically illegial to have HID headlights in a reflector housing (how many cops care, idk) and I go thru alot of cop traps so I did fogs only. Still got pulled over for them (fog is still a reflector) but he gave me a warning.

 

55 watt 6,000k headlights and 35 watt 6,000k fogs will give you a good light output. Thats what I ran in my dak and loved it. Im also running the same setup in my ram. I never adjusted my headlights on my dakota on only got flashed a few times a year. My ram had to really be adjusted(since it sits higher im guessing) With my fog lights on I got flashed by almost everyone so I had to adjust them.

 

Okay thanks, looks like I will lean towards the 55 watt. This is the kit that I'm looking at getting, http://www.ebay.com/itm/55W-Bi-Xenon...ht_6696wt_1210
are they a good company to get from? From looking they look like they should be good quality and they have a 2 year warranty. I'm trying to get prices so I know how much I need to save.

 

Go here they are the same kit and the same company I get mine from not to mention they are cheaper

dont get 55w for both main and fogs. 55w will melt housings possibly, i went 55w main and 35w fog.

 

I am going to do the mains to start with, I have to appease the wife with the cost so that I can get them. After I do the mains then I will save again for the fogs.

 

Its a danger to drive with poor lights so its a must to have hid's lol

 

Okay so I ordered my HID's and they are supposed to be here next week and I'm excited. My question is where did you guys mount the ballasts? Just trying to get some ideas.

 

This may sound like a dumb question, and maybe I'm missing something here, but if you were concerned about light output, why did you get smoked headlight lenses?
