I only have a faint idea what HID lights are exactly but they look cool and I want some. I see there a bunch of different kits. Which kit do I need (H1, H2, etc.)? I have a 2004 NBS 5.4L SupCab

 

H13 or 9008 for the headlights. H10 or 9145 for the fog lights. See my signature for a link on how to install them on your truck. Good luck and post some pics when done.

I got mine from HID4U on ebay. 160.00 shipped for both pairs. Here is a link to his Ebay store.

Make sure to get the Bixenon kit for the headlights (bixenon h13 kit). Its more expensive but comes with a relay harness and you have both low and high beam.

 

X2!!!


i just installed mine and so far they look great, definiatly worth the extra $$$

 

there are 4 H14 Bi-Xenon kits that the eBay seller you posted has. Whats the difference in the 6000K, 8000K, etc.? Which one(s) should I be looking at getting? Thanks for the help everyone.

Never mind I answered my own question.

 

Blue150, is your kit a bi/xenon? If so are you running it ok without the relay?

 

No it is just the low beams and even they are not working well. I just got 2 relays in the mail and am going to install them this weekend I hope. Time permitting. I have to say I support needing the relay 100%.

 

the 6000K and 8000K is the color. the 8s will be bluer, but the 6 will have better light output

 

Stick with a color temp of 6000k and under. 3000k will be deep yellow and works great for fog lights. 4300k is very close to stock color. 5000k is going to be pure white. and 6000k will be white with a tint of blue. Anything above 6000k won't put out enough usable light and make those rainy night drives a living hell. Plus it cuts the rice factor down alot.

 

i have 5000k and think its perfect

 

ive got 8000K and i dont have any problems at all seeing on rainy nights. its probably not as good as the 6000K, but its def. not bad. major improvement over the silverstars

 

anyone with 10000K lghts that can show me a picture?

 

Do you need to replace the stock reflectors? I have an 06 and curious about HID in headlights. I have put the 4300k HIDs on my light bar and love the color and brightess.

 

You don't want 10K. Not unless you want to be blind in the rain. Seriously.

 

10000k is a safety hazard. Basically like trying to drive with blacklights as headlights. Not to mention they scream rice.
