HID headlight conversion

Anyone aware of an HID headlight conversion kit for a Superduty? (2006)

I found a conversion kit for the 9008 Bulb, but it was low beam only.

Looking for an HID conversion kit for 9008 Bulb that is ho/low beam.

What bulb does the 99 use?

And why do you ask? Are you wondering how to do the conversion, or if they make a bulb for a 99?

The conversion is a piece of cake if they have HID bulbs to fit.

Thinking of doing the same

Ive seen all bulb models on ebay for decent prices. Ive also seen both single and HI/Low for all the models. Its a matter of just contacting one of those suppliers on EBay. I plan on doing the single and rewiring the high beams to driving lights so they light up when I need High Beams. My little bro did this on his ricer and they work great.

I have HID's on my truck. Well worth the money. Only draw back is lack of a high beam. But the visibilty is second to none. Instalation is very simple. Just plug and play as they say. Took about 2hours or so to do it.
Any questions just ask!

If you've found a hi/lo bulb for a 9008 I'd love to know the source. I've looked hard, and can't find one anywhere.

Got a link?

dont know if they make anything for the 9008 bulbs, but i have the 9007 hi/low DID conversion in my excursion and they are so bright. i also did the 9005 bulb replacment in the fogs to match the headlights. the kit is from CATZ. i have looked hard for the same kit for others and i cant find it anywhere now. i got them about 2 years ago. in PA, you have to have hi and low beams to pass inspection. technically, if you mess with the stock lights, other than, factory replacment, they fail inspection. i've had no problems and i love them.
