How do you know he didn't do a search?
Maybe he is wanting to open up a dialogue about the topic rather then read old dead threads that might not answer his specific questions. That's why this is a discussion forum.

 

HID's are both retro-fitted(custom) and simple Plug'n'play. If you go to the classifieds section under vendors, HIDExtra has a special going on right now for their plug'n'play kits for $40 or $35 if you buy 2 kits.
If your light is a dual filament(high/low in same bulb) you'll want to get the Bi-xenon kit.
Installation takes 20minutes. You need to secure the ballasts to your frame near the headlight. I used zipties, but they provide brackets that get screwed down and allow the ballasts to slide on/off very easily. As far as the bulbs, they are manufactured using the same base as the stock halogen bulb so they are a direct fit. All harneses are plug'n'play so there is no splicing.
HID's in halogen housings are however illegal even though many guys run them. They do tend to blind oncoming traffic so you might need to aim your headlights down just a little bit. I'd reccomend aligning them prior to HID installation because the HID bulbs are gonna be so bright your not gonna know where the center of the beam is...lol

Kelvin....5000k, 6000k, 8000k is all about color. 4300k(OEM white..brightest), 5000k(White/slight blue..15% less output than 4300k), 6000k(blue..20% less output than 4300k), 8000k(very blue..30% less output than 4300k)
Even at 8000k that has 30% less output than 4300k because blue is unuseable light, the 8000k is still nearly twice as bright as the standard 55w halogen bulb.
Good luck

 

This topic comes up every single week. HID's haven't changed much in the last 5 years to warrant a new thread every few days or so. I don't think an "old dead thread" would be a bad way to go in this case.

All threads end up the same way.

Projectors = the right way
Reflectors = the wrong way, even though everyone goes this route.

Everyone loves DDM HID kits, because they're cheap, work well, and have a lifetime warranty. 9004 for a non sport, relay harness because digital ballasts are temperamental and won't fire without a somewhat clean DC squarewave, aim the headlights down.

4300k- oem hid
5k- white
6k+ - blue

So how much harder was it to give the info you just gave rather then the snarky response you gave the first time around?

If you are tired of seeing a topic show up every week or even every day, then simply don't click on it. Find one that is new to you. For others, the repeated topic might be useful. This is a Dodge Ram discussion forum for all things 2nd Gen, not just all things approved by TheBigRedOne.

 

DC square wave???? Erm.... if you had a square wave, wouldn't that be AC??

 

Jesus, my bad. lol, I'm really not awake yet. Yeah, square is the operative word there.. lol What I was hunting for in my mind was something along the lines of "clean DC signal".

 

i was thinking about getting some hids for my fogs from hidextra.com i was looking for the kit for a 896 bulb. but its not listed. any ideas?

 

Bright is the opposite of what you want for a fog light.
