But let me tell u my truck looks great with HID xenon's everyone recognizes me on the rd or hgw with my lights..

The kit costs 350$ and the only bummer thing that needs to be done is that the bulb fits in perfectly into the bulb hole, but the actual clips (when u turn the bulb to lock in place) are not lined up perfectly due to not original 9008 bulb, so u need to add a dabb of epoxy to keep secure in place. I know sounds abit weird, but there are NO 9008 HID Conversion kits yet. I simply placed 3 little dabbs of epoxy around the outer area of the bulb, anf voila sits in perfectly in the housing..Beautifull crystal clear BRIGHT lights lol ..

True HID ( high intensity discharge)conversions require a power supply to supply high voltage to the filaments. In fact $350 sounds cheap. I have seen them as much as $1300 with bulbs costing $200 or more a piece. HID is not those blue bulbs that you can get for $30.

correct blue bulbs do cost $30 dead presidents, however these replacement bulbs do come with the ballast that suppplies the initial power to turn on the HIDS and then they run like an ordinary headlight, off of the main power supply....i thought the same thing $300 sounds cheap however I have seen the HIDS and impressive is the word.

also they're 296.00 one thing that bothers me is the guys negative replies from other sellers which hinders me from buying off him a bit

Im a very large importer of many items including satellite systems, moddified xbox's, HID conversion kits many other electronic screens and devices.
For a premium HID kit, 350$ is very inexpensive, the best I have seen in premium grade so far RETAIL on a website is 599USD..
We import around 500 units a month.
