Pros: None I can think of

Cons: Your truck will look like every high-schoolers Civic with bling *** lights
You will be putting a chinese-made HID kit in a halogen projector not designed for them
Waste of money

I used to have a set of lights like that on my 07 Screw. I thought they were cool at the time, had 6000k 35W HID's in the lows, and halogen in the highs since I didn't use them often. What I found was the lights didn't aim how they were supposed to, the driver side was right in the center and the passenger side crossed over. I couldn't adjust for left and right so I had to use spacers when mounting the entire housing. This (then) offset the highs, which I could never get properly aligned because of strict vertical alignment only. However, like stock projectors, these did have the vertical limiting plate which kept the light from aiming too high, also lowered the light on the left side for the consideration of oncoming traffic. So anywho, after a while, I went back to stock and now I'm running HIDs in my stock housings. Not only do I have FAR more usable light, but I like the look of the truck with the lights on better. But you know what? To each his own. If it floats your boat, then go for it. Me personally, I'm glad I went back to stock.

Yeah bud don't do it. If you want projectors go to recon and get theirs. I had some of these on my 03 an first the instructions were *#+= second the passenger side white rigs went out on me and I had'm for three months. Im switching over to revotecs but if I could of got some from recon im sure i would still have them.
