Default i cant see either

if you decide to go with aux. lights i would suggest the per-lux driving lights, they are about the best i have found. they are made by grote who has made big truck lights forever. on my first gen i converted the sealed beams to a twist in hid 9003 bulb with a conversion kit from trucklite who also makes big truck lights, and it made a huge diference. good luck!

I just bought HID BiXenon (Hi/Lo) 9007 6k and 9006 6k. They are complete plug and play. They do not strobe or flash and do not give a 'lamp out' on the dash. They also are a lifetime warranty on the ballast and bulbs. There was (and still is) a group buy over on Dodge Talk for them from a vendor. I paid about 330 shipped for both my sets.

The group buy is going until the end of the month. If you want the link to it then simply PM me.

Al, thx on the dog. I used to have four of them and they all were great. Got divorced and had to find some new homes. Very protective they are and despite what some ppl think, I would (and do) totally trust them with my kids.

That first shot of the Cummins looks like he's only got his halogen highs on at that point.
That does not look like an HID light to me.
Now the rest do.
Am I right?
You can get HID kits which only have a HID lo and a seperate halogen bulb for the hi's.
Looks like that's one of those kits?

Yeah, progressive pics. First two are with stock bulbs and HID fogs. Then after install of the HID. Fogs were plug and play, lamps required removal of headlight assembly. It's the same bulb for hi and low. $199
