Default Need advice on HIDs and Throttle Body Spacers

I want to get projector headlights for my '04 Dodge Ram 1500 but don't know much of anything about them, any advice? Also, I want to get a Throttle Body Spacer, any recommendations there?

Not much to say on the headlights but don't waste your time and money on a TBS.

TBS is a waste of money. For HID projector retrofits I would check out the retro shop. http://retroshop.mcfail.net/ Jeremy will take care of you. He did mine, the customer service and quality is great.

We are Fuel Injected vs Carburetors and Throttle Body Injection.

They are useful for spraying but other than that i would focus on your headlights as that sounds like a awesome mod.

Ive done some HID retrofits. They are not simple for doing one the first time. Are you actually looking at OEM HID projectors from another car and retrofitting them in on your headlight assemblies?

If so, please tell me what all you have picked out so I can go over your list and make sure you have everything.

If you are looking at pre-made projector lights on ebay or some other site, be aware those are halogen bulbs and not HIDs.
