I have the Sylvania Xenarc kit on my HD. These are the lights the truck should have come with. I have had no complaints about them being too bright. Any HID system properly aligned will not bother oncoming traffic. The best price I have seen online was here. http://www.suvlights.com/

Considering that the price was $799 a few months ago, I think that is a great deal. I actually paid $525 including shipping on a group buy (FTW) before the price drop. I highly recommend them.

Awesome

I have the Sylvania's (and HID fogs). They are excellent units.

Why get HIDs? Because it's friggin dark all the time and I feel like I can't see squat when I get in the truck after driving the mercedes.

I have never had anyone flash their headlights at me in more than a year, so I'm going to agree that if they are properly aligned (mine were) they won't bother anyone.

You want bright? Get XENON 8000K color temperature! I have access to these HID kits.

They use 35W of power.
Last approx 2000 hrs.
Very high brightness, 300%!

The Sylvania kit does have high and low beam.

What I need is some fog light bulbs that match…

The sylvania's have high/low but just the low beam is HID (I've never used the high beams for driving)

The Sylvania's are a complete unit, you can't swap the bulbs with our stockers (which is good because the reflector is completly different).

My fog HIDs are from http://www.hidkits.com no complaints. They treated me well and their product works great.

Why not go the cheaper route and just get a pair of PIAA 959's? I got mine in ION which is that bright yellow. They are projector fogs and look purple/blue when off. I figured, why drop $500+ on hid fogs with an improper beam pattern opposed to a functional fog for less then 1/2 the price. I wont have to worry about cracked fog lenses either. Not bad for $230. The yellow offsets the HID color quite well. Ala Lexus
