Yeah I got the same from HIDGATE from ebay. Not installed yet, but $68 shipped to the door for slim ballasts and all.....The POS silverstars actually put out less lumens than stock! Seeing better is always a plus and looking cool is a must! My buddy told me my HID's came today, but I am out of town.....Monday night they will go in!

This is a really nice kit! 15 minute install and they work great....No flicker, No CEL Nothing, just lots of light! They are the 500k and are a little more blue than I thought they would be, but they llook sweet. The factory Fog lenses really "flood" the light, so they don't project very far, but there is a good cut off with no glare for oncoming cars. Good product!

Do you ever get flashed with the HIDs in your headlights? I am slightly dissapointed at how far out the fogs project. They seem to be bright, but no matter how high I aim them they seem to just flood the area close to the truck. I think its those Hella housings with that funky thing in the middle that makes them spread out like that? I am wondering now if its worth getting the ones for the headlights to match, or go with the 3000K? and if is even worth changing them. The HIDs should project out as far as the halogens in the headlight housing right?

Are the 6000K pretty blue. It just seems like my 5000's are almost too blue for me, but they don't offer the 4300?

Did you get the Bi-Xenon for brights and lows or just the regular H13 bulb for lows? Rumor has it that the brights are not worth it.....
Thanks for any input.

That's what I thougt about the colors. but my buddy has 4300 and his is white for sure no yellow at all, they actually start up a little blue and trun white, so I figured the 5000s would be white with a tiny bit of blue, but whatever, maybe my eyes are just used to the yellow stockers so the fogs seem blue....
