Default Those with HIDs Installed...Little Help

Hey guys I am looking of doing the conversion to my 2007 Ram 1500 Hemi, headlight and fog. I am looking to see some pics of those that have them installed and wanted to know how long it took to do so. I am not a 'car' guy in the way of DIY but I have seen videos and it seems to be pretty easy, plug and play.

Just wanted to know, also what kind did you go with, I was looking at the 8000K, super white with blue tint.

Thanks in advance guys.

i use 10k from vvme.com i believe they're out of bejing or hongkong its like 40$ for the fogs and 60-70 for the dual beam headlights. the fog lights take like 15 minutes, if that, the headlights are a little more complex because you have to run a wire from your battery, your probably looking at around an hour or two if its your first time and you take your time. biggest hurdle is figuring out where you want to mount your ballasts but i can post some pictures of my setup and you can follow it exactly if you want

Yeah bro if you can post pics that would be great. You can PM them to me if you want. Thank you!

I am thinking of the 8K or the 10K. Are the 10K blue or more purple?

Alright cool. Yeah I think I'm going with the 10K then. IF and when you can get me where you installed the ballast man I would appreciate it.

temps definetly range from company to company. I have HIDextra (site sponsor) and they work great. Dont have to run any wires to the battery or anything special. I have seen 6k, 8k, and 10k. I have 8k and it is mostly blue. Next time ill be getting 6k. 10k is all dark blue. 8k is blue enough.

Yeah I am going to be getting them from HID Extra as well. So the 6K how do those look? I may go with the 6K or 8K.
