i have suspected that the
Mitsubishi Raider has slightly better aerodynamics than
The Dodge Dakota
but never seen any official numbers
What is the warranty time/mileage from Mitsubishi
compared to Dodge?
If Mitsu were smart
they would use their clout as an independent
and the surplus of 5.7 V8s from Satillo now available
to offer a MDS 5.7V8 in the Raider
and prove to Chrysler that it would pick up sales

two things, one, where did you get your bulbs from? i was going to try and get some of those 8500K's and wanted to see how yours came out.
second, why is the 5.7 availible in the Jeep Grand Cherokee (basically same engine bay size of a dak, if not smaller) but not availible in the Dakota? it would make a sick R/T for sure

I think he went with the simulated HID's on ebay for cheap...
I went with an 8000K HID setup from VIPHID and they look good. very bright.

HID retro fits are not legal in any state... if your vehicle didnt come with them, its illegal to fit them to it...
being said, I have passed many cops and have yet to be pulled over for it.
and they ran me just under 140 shipped. keep in mind they are bi-xenon so I retained my high/low beams

yeah thats bull**** about the illegal thing, but it is cool that you are able to keep your high and low beams. i know a guy that lost his high beams because he did just the HID's from ebay. well let me ask you, is the single beam that you get from the cheaper ebay units brighter than the brights you have on your bi-xenon?

no, they are the same as my low beams.
The guy who I got my kit from sells on ebay too... I dont know his username, but his kits are in a VIP HID box... the pic probably shows it.
When you are looking, look for bi-xenon H-13. you dont have to worry about the relay kit with the Bi-xenons, it comes with the kit.
