Lost when it comes to

I am a complete newbie when it comes to HIDS! I know everyone stress's the importance of quaility and warranty and such. So I would like hi and low HIDS with 8000k I believe. Where they are mostly white with a hint of blue I think. now who makes the best kit out there? Also this is just for my headlights only. So thank you and sorry for the 41215416451544163 post about HIDs. Just I dont want to blow my money on a crappy set, when I can order it right the first time. Thank you.

RETRO SOLUTIONS! Todd is very nice very quick responses and free priority shipping, ask for a discount also he is on the the more expensive side but the lights are worth it. www.retrosolutionsllc.com I have a 55w digital bi-xenon 8000K, and these light put out a clean cut off I would recommend them to any one, I trust them a lot also.

Thanks mang. I was looking at them and am going to purchase from him as the lifetime warranty plus seems like a quaility kit. Also do I just need one kit for both headlights? And last but not least what one do I order like H and what number? I wanna say H13 but not 100% sure on it. So plug and play and thats it with em? Seems like a easy install.

www.sylvania.com will give you a replacement guide for all your bulbs. 8000K is mostly a true blue. My 6000K are mostly white with a dash of blue. 4300-5000K will be the whitest and brightest

Your truck use's an H13 bulb for the headlights and a 9145 bulb for the fog lights. As far as kelvin temp goes I wouldnt go above 6000k. Like raptor stated 4300k will be comparable to stock as far as color goes (white with a tint of yellow), and these will also be the brightest. 5000k will still be very bright and almost a pure white light (this will be my next color). 6000k will be white with a hint of blue, much like the high end cars you see around town. Going above 6000k isn't recommended since you start to lose light output in exchange for more color. 8000 is a deep blue that won't do to well in rain or on wet roads. 10000k is really blue and you will start to lose visability on wet and dry roads. Stick with 6000k or lower and you won't be disappointed.
