Default What HID Kit?

I'm wanting to switch to HID's, 8000K, and I've found plenty of them, but the prices vary greatly, and some look really cheap and poorly made. Which kit do yall have? Is it good quality? Also, how would you go about putting in HID fog lights? Here's a headlight kit I found, but its $80, so I'm skeptical.

Thanks, Kyle

We have a vendor here that sells HID kits, I haven't had any dealings with them but the members who have seem pretty happy. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/vendor-...m-members.html

Just remember if you want to keep your high beams you need a bi-xenon kit.

Thanks. I made a list of the lights I'm going to replace. I have niteshaded tails, so I need something brighter. I know I need a relay so it doesn't think their burnt out, but I'm not sure on that.. Anyway, here's the list. Tell me what yall think.

Headlights

Foglights

Taillights

3rd Brake Light

Front Turn Signals

Check out VLEDs.com too for the LED lights, they have a huge selection of them. For the taillight lenses I would just get the red ones, the other wavelengths will just be filtered out by the red lens, unless they're the same price then it really won't matter.

Relay for the HIDs? What does that do/does it complicate the install?
