I think mSall is running MH1s in his rectangular-fogged 04-05.

I just replaced the stock bulbs with a Smarteyes Technology HID kit with 3000K bulbs for road use. They definitely help fill in close to the truck and are noticeable even over the 5000k HID low beam in an Anzo projector headlight lens. Don't know if you will get the coverage you want on a farm, but for night driving in the city it works for me.

There is no such thing. Sounds like someone fell for some marketing trickery.

Unless its a D2R/S series or the like, its not a real Xenon bulb. Those 9007, H13, etc rebases are all fake chinese copies. Only DxR/S series-bulbs meets DOT standards. So you're foglights/headlights or whatever you replaced are not approved for on-road use and are dangerous for oncoming motorists. Plus, the pictures of the "Philips" kits on that website are also fake.

tl;dr- you got scammed
