the foglights are a pain in the you know what to get in. there was lots of bulb modification to get it to fit. even know they were the ones that were supposed to fit. if your truck has the same ones.

fairly straight forward. you loose your highbeams since we dont have two seperate bulbs for high/lo. but lets be honest here. you will never need high beams again.

with our single bulbs doing both functions, when you hit the high beams the bulbs just go out. thats how i signal people now. light flickering. haha. although im sure you could find a hi/lo xenon hid kit. i just dont know much about them and was recommended not to go with them for reliability issues with the ballasts and that they dont last as long.

I'm not sure if it is an issue with the 08+ dakota's, but my 5000k's went in the fog lights with no trouble at all.

On a side note this thread has motivated me to finish my 55w HID conversion on my hella 700ff's.
