Ok here are the lights, 4300K mcCulloch HI/Lo kit. They work awesome! I got to test them out in the snow this morning and boy they light it up like you wouldn't believe. The whiter the ground of coarse, the bluer the lights look (i.e. concrete vs asphalt) Any other question let me know

I noticed some people are asking about HID. If you are serious about your lighting, this is the way to go! You can't come close to the brightness with anything else.

It was about 450 I believe. It is a lot, but what you get is worth it in my opinion. The kit i bought came with

4300 Bulbs Hi/Lo (2x)
HID Ballast (2x)
HI/Lo Swith box (2x)
Battery hookups (2x)


The kit basically is the bulbs and ballast, with an additional box in line for the Hi/Lo Switch. You just put the bulb in, mount the ballast (i just cleaned off the inner fender behind passenger housing with alcohol and used the included 3m tape to stick it on, then mounted the driver side between the housing and battery tray) and converter........basically you have 3 small boxes, 1 metal ballast and 2 rubber, they are all in line and it is really straight forward install..mount all the crap and then run wires to + and - terminals on battery. I can describe it better if anyone actually buys it and tries to install it.

Yeah... my wife has HID's in her VW Touareg and they are awesome.... I hate driving my Ram at night after driving the T-reg. Maybe I will have to make the jump! Thanks for the info.
