i think that is one of the most vague posts I have ever seen

but no, they will not work as is on your truck...you will have to add load resistors into the harness to make them work. About $8 off ebay

Bi-xenon Hi's and Lo's are chit and this is what I mean.

Ask ANYONE who has bi-xenons and they will tell you Lo's are great and give great light but when using Hi, they suck. Because of how they are made plus how the headlight bowls are made, they just do not give off good light.

So the question is do you need to spend the extra money for them?? Only you can answer that

For those who has HID Lo's and halogen Hi's, they complain the Hi's are not bright enough. Well thats because they are not meant to be. The halogen Hi's in those kits do not put out the bright light like normal Hi's. They are really made for people in area where they go through inspections and need normal halogen lights in pass inspections. So when people go through inspections they turn on thier Hi's to pass.

Either way, any HID will need those 50 watt load resistors off ebay.
