well the 55w would be for my truck which has projectors. i'm just looking for a better look and brighter lights for my moms truck that i sometime drive. and no im not some 30 yr old loser that still lives with his mom, i'm only 17. haha

 

true that. im 19 still. if you've got projectors, go with 55W. 35W only for reflectors.

 

heck yeah. i run the 35w for normal local driving so i cant get more color out of em since i hear 55w washes out some of the color. i gotta take my truck tuesday to have it looked at, it's drinkin gas like a ****. lol ALOT more than usual so i'm gunna have the rear end fluids changed and change the oil and check the fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, and injectors all at once. lol idk whats causing it but its definately puttin a dent in the ol' billfold. haha

 

Aftermarket headlights with projector housings (like those sold on ebay) are often designed for the stock halogens and still scatter light everywhere with cheap HID kits. 55w HIDs should not be used in them. In fact, HIDs shouldn't be used period in that situation unless you do a true retrofit swap.

 

If it does, it barely does it. my 55W 4300K have a slight yellow tinge to them. I used to hve 35W 6000K drop-ins but color varies from bulb to bulb. A 6000K Philips bulb will look like a 4300K chinese bulb.

in that case your right, i was thinking of retrofits off to finish mine now!

 

i know retrofits are safer but the one i seen in person looked goofy. maybe yours looks different but the retrofit i seen just look way out of place.

 

Not near as out of place as blue ricer lights look in a late model American made truck.

This is a fad that I hope goes away in a hurry.

 

oooooooooo kay cool guy. we all know how this argument will end up. hids in stock housings are ricey, unsafe, and all kinds of crap while retrofits are gods gift and anybody who has em is the best person ever and bla bla bla. like the original post stated, im going to retrofit this truck. everybody else who posted on this thread knows retrofits are better, we coulda lived without that comment. i'll do what i want with my money, and you do the same. to each his own. have a great day, sir. go play with your lights hand made by god himself.

 

x2. All it would take is a little enforcement from the Police.

 

hopefully i have 4 more lights with HID's when i add my light bar.

This is DDM 6000k's. both are 55watt. Havent had any trouble with either.

 

bla bla bla. we have guys with green hids in our town. so like i said, i'll do me, and you do you. have a nice day

 

I LOVE IT! post pics somewhere when you get the light bar installed!

 

Hey thanks man. i have just been trying to figure out where i would mount the ballast at. However i am sure i could figure it out. it would be a fairly cheap project though.

edit:

I have to agree with a couple of these guys though. I think some of these lights look just horrible and can be very unsafe. I aimed my lights way down. i have spot lights and high beams for when other cars are not around. I also painted my housings which helped with the glare a tad. If retrofits werent so damn ugly i would love to do projectors, but they are absolutely hideous. just my two cents. The fact of the matter is, they CAN be very unsafe and its a really easy way to get a ticket.

 

6000ks.

DDM. Better have your OEM filaments in the console for when they fail out on you while your driving at night. OneTouch is a good flashlight app to help you change back roadside.

 

Yeah they are something different to look at, but I base my mods on function over form. After a few days I've grown to like the look. They look futuristic. Heck my first night trying them out I stopped at a gas station and a guy in a modded Dodge complimented me on them.
