Default HID

I know people here have put in after market head lights (Me too) but has anybody made the leap to H.I.D.'s?

The web site that Frency gave up for aftermarket bulbs they also sold conversion HID kits for ANY truck/car for only $350.00.
I would do this in a hartbeat but my funds don't always go where I want them to[&o]So I was wondering if anybody did this yet?

If so please post some pics!!!!!!

I thought i read somewhere on here that somebody did a conversion but said if you don't do a lot of night driving it's not worth it, but i think it would look to cool on a dakota though no matter how much you drive, and also i heard on here that it's illegal in some state's, if your vehicle does'nt come stock with HID's, what after market bulb's do you have on your truck now, do u like them,how bright are they and what color are they, any website's you recommend for neadlight bulb's, sorry i know so many question's, what website did frenchy get his from.

P.S. Good Nextel Cup Racin Today At Watkin's Glen Go Jr.!!!

first off jr sucks, the only decent racing is on a road course. cirle track and golf are the two most useless waste of property. as far as the headlights, everytime i drive at night people always flash me there high beams like im driving with mine on, but when i hit my high beams people tend to move to the side of the road. my factory lights are just as powerfull as the hid.

H13 are the bulb replacements as Super stated I paid $32.00 total and they were tit to put in.They claim to be 50% brighter than stock,Now I put one in and waited for night fall.The new one is much cleaner looking it's not as warm/orange looking I liked it and droped the other in.I now want to get the driving light bulbs thet were only $15.00 a pair and & 2.00 for shipping.
I will get these soon.


I did a search on the bulbs that Frency posted if you go to the 6th page scroll down to "Fiannly pix" you'll see on the 3rd page a pic of the lights.
