Hyper white headlights?

Hey guys!

Just wondering if anyone has done a bulb conversion to have the light blue headlight look rather than just the regular color?

I just got a new black/black loaded platinum and always felt like that light blue look looked more premium..

Thanks in advance!

To get the blue look you will probably have to do a hid kit.

I like the look too, did 8,000k on my f150, it was too blue. Have 6,000k on my f250 and prefer that

Awesome thanks. What's something like that cost and where can I get it?

Is it a DIY?

This definitely wouldn't void warranty right?

I've done quite a few kits now, it pretty easy. You have to wire in ballasts and they plug right into your stock plug. I've had zero issues with my dealer, they like everything I've done to my truck, lol. I'm not sure what to recommend though, last two kits have been nothing but trouble, so I'm looking for a new company to get my kits from as well.

This the look your going for??

Yup that's exactly it. Did you change your fog lamps too?

Prepare to blind oncoming traffic. Just because they aren't flashing their high beams at you doesn't mean you aren't. The factory headlight assemblies aren't designed for HID headlights.

Very weird, I never get flashed. I guess the hour I took to aim them worked

How long did it take you? I'm going to start looking. Did you change your interior reading lamps too?

What type of cost for the lights and fogs?

320 bucks for heads and fogs. Takes hour or so for the kits, you have to make sure you properly aim them after too. I never did my interior...yet

I want to get the bi-xenon? I imagine that would be both high and low beams? Do I need to get a relay as well?

Check out recon, they have projector headlights. They also have interior led kits, kinda pricey though.

Kit should come with a harness that will control the high/ low when you plug it into your stock plug. Then wire to your battery, ground your 2 ballasts and your done. And yes, bi-xenon.

Those projectors look nice -- but yeah super pricey... I found the HID 6000k kit bi-xenon and fog lamps for about $200 with relays
