Talking Hids!!

So last night i got my hids in and installed on my 01 Ram sport, i got 6000k they were probably the easiest thing ever! Hardest part was mounting the ballasts and finding a good spot for them and to get the bulbs in IMO. It was easier to get them in by taking off the headlight assembly. With them they dont leave your highs and lows on for the sport models like the stock halogens do but im buying a relay so there all on! pictures will be up soon when i get my new OEM lights on mine are yellow and unrepairable .
And apparantly they dont make a 9004 specific bulb they just change the wiring on a 9007, feel free to ask questions

Did you put these HIDs in a stock reflector housing, or an aftermarket projector housing?

The stock reflector housings (and most reflector housings in general) are really bad for other drivers on the road when HIDs are involved. That's why the projectors have the shield built into them.

Yeah the only thing that needs to be changed is the wiring the ground for the 9007s is on the left im pretty sure and the ground for the 9004 is in the middle and the did that for me when i ordered them and i asked about it today and he told me. i can post pictures if you would like.

I despise those head lights, I have worked night shift for so long that my eyes are real sensitive to light. I hope you get a ticket for those, I can't tell you how many times I have almost ran off the road becasue of those.

yeah i havent had any problems with them at all i see them all the time at night even on newer vehicles that are stock with them and i dont get that distracted by them, even seeing them late at night with no other lighting i have no problem even if i do stare at them
