Default New HID pics

Well after a few days of headaches, let me start off by saying, what a pain in the f****** a** these were. If anyone decides to get HID's, make sure to get ones that are guaranteed to work in your truck. I still have problems (which will be fixed shortly) but in the end (so far) they were kinda worth it. I got a 6000k hi/low kit (so far only the lows work) and after a $80 trip to the local off road shop, they will finally stay on, knock on wood. Heres a few pics of them.

Aimed at my garage a few feet away...

And the headlight itself...

I'm not putting anymore money into these, so my next mod will be some hellas with HID's in them incase I need more light.

I've also yet to get flashed by anyone, so I assume I aimed them low enough not to blind anyone. These guys light up my entire street and definitely make night driving more fun (and safer because I can see the stray coyote or javelina[sp?] sooner.)

I also got my new pioneer deck installed, so more pictures to come tomorrow!

Yeah HIDs are very nice. I dont think anyone would want to go back to halogens.

I was somewhat concerned about the scatter, but after seeing your garage shot I think It's alright. Not any more scatter than the stocks.

Lets not even bring up the illegal v/s legal debate because its been discussed many many times over and over and over.
