I'm glad the same conscience resides in your minds, I'll see what I can do with just fogs only. I believe thats illegal around here, even remotely a couple cops on the nightshift just hassle me for anything anyway. I'll let you know how it works out, I love the light so I need to adjust, maybe a new headlight housing. I was thinking of those halo w/led's. I believe dr paul had them.

Was coming home from a snowboarding trip @ Yosemite, a ballast (unbeknownst to me) fell out of the holder, they are somewhat secure (so I thought), I guess you need to weld them into their own holder). The roads are mountain roads so they're somewhat rough but I go offroad for cryin out loud. I am trying to get in contact with Ollo about this. I lost the entire 5lb ballast on the road somewhere, and damaged the bulb. I'm worried about my other ballasts now, anyone figure a secure way to keep them in there? If not just keep an eye and ear on them. I'll let you know what happens.

Sylvania made a kit they called "Xenarc" for the prior generation F150s. It replaced the entire lamp assembly. They rocked! I wish they made 'em for the new trucks 'cause I sure miss 'em.

Maybe if we all beg, they'll start making 'em again...

I just got done rewiring my Ollo HID's. The driver side headlight assembly went out. The FACTORY power is no longer there, I'm assuming the flickering burnt out the wiring harness somewhere. I just ran a relay from the pass side headlight. No more FLICKERING!!! I can use the "Autolamp" setting on the headlight switch now. I'm glad I did this, it took me several hours because I wanted it to look nice but the result is worth it. Be careful if you have flickering, I believe it caused the damage! I'll get pics upon request.

Josiah, you shoudn't use the autolamp setting because it turns on the light before the ballast has full power there for causing in shorter life for your bulbs! My last 8K set I had them set to the autolamp all the time and within 5 months they changed from a light blue to a purple and surely two went out!!

EDIT: Throw some pics up!! lets see a straight on and from in the cab shot........
