Alright so I tried going back to stock and those don't even work anymore. Can't be a fuse because I just replaced them with new 20's. Definitely regret not running a harness now but may not end up too bad, I'll just have to get in there and see. For now I just haven't been driving it at night..

 

So what is the best HID conversion kit?

 

A projector retrofit. Aka taking a projector with the optics designed for a HID capsule and installing it into your headlight via, threaded shaft, bolts, 2 part epoxy etc.

 

Okay thanks thelatiat02. Im new to the headlight upgrade. Just bought a Harley Davidson with the supercharged package. Only thing I don't like about the truck is the yellow halogens. Looking to upgrade to a white headlight. Visibility is not what I'm concerned with as much the white appearance. Also not crazy about taking headlights apart for a retrofit. What is my best option without doing the retrofit? Are the Xenon HID kits good?

 

No. Putting any HIDs in your housings will cause glare, which in turn will blind oncoming traffic. Wrong optics.
If you want that white look then get some Sylvania ZXE or whatever they are called. They'll give you a nice white light. Or at least as close as a halogen will get you.

 

Thanks man. Almost ordered them. Glad I didn't. Anything I should know about the those type? Do you know which ones are the best of the best?

 

All Sylvania bulbs are rated at the same lumens. They tried lying about lumen output but has a lawsuit against them. Si honestly for best output just get the long life bulbs. When you go with the ZXE they have a light film of blue on them so the light will appear whiter, but since it's technically tint light output will be a little less.

 

Okay perfect. Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated.

 

No problem man!

 

Do yourself a favor and buy an old used light housing for your truck and take it apart. Learn from it. Then buy a new set of OEM lights or a decent used pair and retrofit them to real HID's. This way you are not rushed to get them done and can take your time. You will not be disappointed. I went with OEM style HID's just because I could but a retrofit would have been my primary choice had the funds not been available for OEM and before spending any money on fancy bulbs and drop in HID's.

 

Thanks for the info. Just bought some Cree LED's yesterday. Got the headlights and fog lights. Hope it turns out good.

 

Are they just replacement bulbs?

 

Yes it's the (OPT7 LED Headlight Bulbs w/ Clear Arc-Beam Kit - H13 (9008) - 80w 7,000Lm 6K Cool White CREE - 2 Yr Warranty) on Amazon.

 

Uh oh... I am going to take shelter before the fallout.

Those LED bulbs will have the same effect as the drop in HID's mentioned above. Our halogen housings are not designed for anything other than halogens. Unfortunately the advertising on these drop ins is very catchy and people keep buying them. They are brighter and whiter but the halogen housings lose a lot of that light by sending it into oncoming traffic and the trees.

If you get them and get flashed a lot or don't like them, try the retrofit. You won't be disappointed and you will never go back to these crap bulbs. Its money well spent learning and you will never get the HID quality with drop ins, never. Not even with an aftermarket projector housing. You have to do it right and the results will amaze you.

 

Maybe they won't work but I'm going to try them. Several people with F-150's left 5 star reviews so we'll see.. . They make OEM HID's for 07's?
