HID kits are usually very simple. The kits you can buy usually plug into the old bulb harness, you mount the ballast some place near the headlight, and insert the HID bulb into the housing like you would a regular halogen bulb. Done.

I'd suggest taking a look at DDM tuning. Excellent service, products, and prices.

i purchased 8000k hids from kensun. the kit was great i ran into a problem and i was told that when you hook up hids to any dodge vehicle you have to use a relay so i did and they worked great. the only thing is that the high beam out of the quad lamp doesnt work anymore but who cares my hids are way brighter. honestly i dont even know how i waited this long to get them. i recently mad a trip upstate new york and those roads have poor light let me tell you i was completely happy with the performance of hids and totally recoomend. the company kensun i bought them from warrantys bulb and ballast for 2 years....

Dont agree with that, how many lights do you have four extra ones on the front, you can put out that much with less wattage and less lights with Hids

These light housings are not designed for HID's... they are know to scatter the light and blind on coming traffic.. that ebing said... if you get new light housings designed for HID's then they look good... that's all.. sorry for the post above.. I just see a lot of guys go the cheap route and it not only looks bad but is unsafe
