Search for 'HIDextra' on here and you can read a ton about their kits and the good & bad points about them. I have them, and for the most part I like them, but they are not 100% hassle-free.

I went with ddm tuning. Just order them based off the 2010 sizes. I got the 35 w raptor set up for the fog lights and the low beams. You will need to get the bow kit for the low beams but not the fog lights. I paid 95 bucks for all delivered and I love them. The tpms flashes on for a second at ignition but goes away with no other issues. Hope this helps! I will post a picture later today.

where did you get the 2010 sizes? when i go to their site i just get a bunch of options. What are BOWs? Do we use H1 bulbs? I have the quad headlights, do i use the dual in dual out wiring harness? do i need the error code eliminator or the h1/h7 to 9006 wiring adapter? Do i need anything else to make the hi beams work or will this just work for the low beams?

The sizes you need for the quad headlights are as follows. For the Fog lights, 9145 and it is the same as the h10 kit. The low beam's are the H11 Kit. The bow's are the bulb out warning canceler. The only thing you need extra is the bows. One set. The fog lights do not send a warning out for the bulb being bad. The HID kits only draw 35 w vs 55 that the truck computer looks for to see if you have all good lights. The high beams I did not convert to HID's but I think I may do them as well. I have PM'd you my phone number to walk you through it. Give me a call.

Give 3B Specialties a call. They will set you up with everything you need. I have their hid kits in my lows and fogs and they have worked flawlessly going on two years. Except for the occasional TPMS light after long trips. Not a huge deal and it seems a lot of the hid kits on the 4th gens are having this issue.
