Led/Hid Headlights

Hello all, sorta new here(new to owning a diesel as well) and was looking for some feedback from people who have done Led/Hid conversion. I ordered new headlights but was unsure if a lighting conversion was worthwhile. I'm sure there will be massive visibility improvement with just changing the lenses. I'm not looking for the blue or yellow, just a super bright white light. Any help/input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Projectors with 55w 6k hid.

Don't buy a cheap hid kit. They can cause no start issues

Led are bright white but tend not to have any distance to them

Could you guys possibly post some pics? Love to see what they look like installed.
Is there a kit or is it a custom mod?

You can buy the kit online but you still have to do it yourself or you can send your headlights into certain companies and they will do it for you but its expensive

Another option is you can buy the headlights online already done but they have poor quality

This is the only picture I could find just so happens to be after I smoked a deer on my way to work

Not hard at all go on the retrofitsource.com they have all you need they have so many choices for kits I actual got those projectors in the closeout section for 50 bucks a piece they're the mini h1's bi-xenon then just get a hid kit with h1 bulbs it's allot cheaper

Quality is pretty good nice cutoff but they really don't compare to my fxr projectors in my 2010 but the mini was way easier to mount up

As far as the lenses got them online somewhere for around 100 or so can't remember just search for one's you like with clear lenses you're gonna be baking the headlight open anyway
