Anyone have HID's/Xenons on their truck?

So this is my first truck and up to now I've been spoiled with xenons on my cars and I just can't stand how dim stock halogens are. Anyone install HID's on their truck? What brand is out there and are they any good? It's for an 07 FX4. Thanks

The only knock I've got about aftermarket Xenons is the fact that they are not like factory xenons, as far as aiming. Then you get idiots flashing you...

1 Year with 6k in my fogs after adj. them I havnt been flashed in over 6 months and Ill never go back to regular lights so much brighter, further reaching light as well as less eye strain at night, also having everyone tell me my truck looks bad just driving with my fogs on doesnt hurt. I only use my fogs and I havnt been stoped for it in over a year knock on wood. Look in my pics you can see how much more light they put out compaired to stock headlights.

How are the people flashing you idiots? Wouldn't it be the people who have poorly aimed HIDs. There are a ton of these 'idiots' in my town who are weekly Ebay! shoppers for their 1989 Honda Civics. The HIDs are a big horespower increase for them but they do not understand how much more power they can gain if they get them aimed correctly.

So this is what I have to look forward to being higher up now So you guys that have the HID's, are you just replacing them in the fog light housing? I heard that putting a xenon kit in halogen housing is illegal but I can't stand this dim lighting.

Do you have HIDs or stock lights? I have Silverstars in everything and don't ever have anyone flash me. I'm sitting on 37s and 10" of lift as well. Sounds like you need to re-aim your headlights. .
