Looks good so far. What kit did you end up going with? Any problems with the install/lamp outs?

I used the H13/9008 kit from HIDextra.com. No lamp out problem, just passenger side would turn on when the ignition was off but not when the truck was running. After some trial and error i realized that the passenger side adapter was not used because of the harness with relay that was provided (free of extra charge). After hooking up that harness and tucking the adapter out of the way no problems, and I have had them on for over a week now

The iPhone pics look exactly like the view the poor SOBs who run into you on the street will get -- a blast of light right in their eyes.

Well, at least you'll be able to see better.

HIDs need to be in a projector housing of some sort. I'm not such a purist that I believe it must be an HID projector but definitely NOT in a stock reflector housing.

Yeah I don't had HID projectors, but they will have HID's in them before too long. I just gotta figure out this kit first. It doesn't exactly make sense to me yet. I have never used HID's before and I looked at it for 10 seconds.

Yours do look really bright tho, I can't wait to get all 10 of my HIDS on at once
