What Next????

Well I am quite disappointed because I finally got sick enough of my crooked dented front bumper and went to go get a new one but the only one they could get was another dented one and they wanted 400 bucks! So now I think I might get some of those one-piece halo headlights and HID's. Problem is I do not at all understand the concept of HIDs. Could somebody please explain them to me? OR instead of the headlights should I get a grille? I was thinking of chrome billet with no emblem hole. I would rather get a black chrome billet grille but cannot find any on ebay.

i have the projector lights you talk about. and HID i think it stands for High Intensity Discharge is like shining a beem of daylight out infront of you at night. around 4500k(which means the temp of the light, and the temp determines the color output) is the closest to daylight i think. 6000k hid's seem to be the most popular because there very bright and still have that blueish color to them. if you drove a HID equipped truck vs halogen(stock) its like a night and day difference, literally. ha but yes HID's are a very good buy. defenitly worth it IMO.

6000K are more pure white than blue.

there is a huge range of hid kits on ebay and the internet so its all about what you want to spend. the single beam fog kit i got and am trying to sell was 65 and ive seen single beam headlights (halogen fogs) for 75-150 and bi-xenon for more than that about 150+.

also on the one piece halo projector heads i dont think youll be happy with them. most people ive know or seen get them have changed them fast cus they didnt like them. also the have separate high and low bulbs.

I really like the look of the one piece headlights. I don't really particularly care for any of the aftermarket two piece headlights that I have seen. About the Hid's how come I am seeing bi-xenon HID kits for like 50 bucks on Ebay? Are they any good or are they just junk?

If you don't mind me asking, what's the site? What do i all need to make sure is in the kit when i get one?
Would this be a good one?
