Diode Dynamics HID headlights
Was wondering if anyone has tried this conversion?

https://www.diodedynamics.com/hi-lo-...uper-duty.html

I tried the LED route and had to remove them as they destroyed my AM radio receiption.

Taking a look this HID kit.

Do it once by doing it right.
Save up or purchase the OEM LED headlights and call it a day.
You can thank me later.

We're a Diode Dynamics dealer, but I wouldn't recommend this.

Running quad HIDs without projectors will be horribly blinding for anyone driving your direction. I don't recommend it.

To be honest I do not care for the look of the factory LED daytime running lights ......

So I guess I'll leave this alone.... More $$$'s left for the 350

The voices of reason in the proverbial darkness. Thank you gentleman. Anyone driving at night encountering some of these rigs (all makes, not any one particular) with the add-on bulbs and such that scatters light all over and blinds the hell out of oncoming traffic will applaud your comments. Not limited to trucks either.

These might be right up your alley. LEDs with projectors and they can be aimed appropriately as well. Huge upgrade over halogen lights, LED Daytime Running Lights, and Sequential Amber Turn Signals.

Anyone try these? Not sure they will improve that much. And they have a much lower life expectency - like 300 hours

That's the problem with them. They are an improvement and they fit the halogen reflector nicely. But the life out of them is crappy.

Totally understand. If you like the OEM LED lights, we can help with those as well.
