HID Kits

I want to get a HID Kit for my truck but I'm not sure what one to get? Which ones do you run?

I run a eBay kit one but I will say they work great but the light beam is poorly focused best thing to do is get a 9007 hid kit and replacement bulbs 9001 and a eBay set of high low projectors and install in ur headlights it's easy to do and a well worth upgrade I've built several sets now for several trucks and it's a great investment

This would work?
9007 180W 18000LM All In One LED Headlight Kit Hi/Low Beam Bulb 6000K High Power | eBay
They say plug and play no additional mods.

Here is two recent setups I built one is a pretty expensive build but the one is cheap and easy to diy do yourself and will be 10 times brighter than regular hids trust me and it'll only cost u at best 75 extra dollars

If you can get a true HID kit that will focus the light it will save you from every driver flashing their beams at you. I have a low cost kit in my car. It's bright, but other drivers hate it, and I don't really blame them, I need to take it out one of these days and replace it with a better kit.

Either a good quality true output HID kit or do a projector retrofit. There is really no beating the output and control of proper HID projectors and they are not that much more costly. It really comes down to if you want to spend the time and effort to retrofit the projectors.
