has anybody here done the light conversion to HID's? what hardware did you use and how did you go about the conversion?

 

I did it and love it. It also depends on the year model of your truck because of the material the headlamp capsules were made of. I got mine from Dfuser and with sylvania silverstar ultras you can light up the highway for a LONG way.

 

Moved...enjoy

 

I thought silverstar's were halogen? Do they have a line of HIDs named the same as well?

 

I'm lookng for true HID's, ballasts and all.

 

I used a kit. No high beam. Don't really need it anyway. Mounted the ballasts on the core support for the headlights, on the top of the engine side. Fog light ballasts on the front of the core either side of the radiator just behind the top edge of the bumper. Plug and play otherwise.

 

Keep in mind you will most likely be blinding everyone if you dont use a custom projector or a cutoff shield. Depending on how strict the law is where you live you may want to check in to it before you start this project.

 

I had hids.. Really look at the brands.. I forgot what mine were.. I had a lot of interference with the PCM.. My lights would flicker on the highway and honestly.. They weren't that bright.. I get more distance with my Headlights now then I did with the 8k and 6k HID bulbs.. Just FYI.. I would really research the brands, maybe mine was a bad brand..

 

Looks interesting. When I bought my truck used from the dealership it had some silverstar lamps in it. The bulbs fried the wiring harness. Luckily the dealer replaced it since they had put them in. It was nice to pull up behind people and light up their car like daytime

 

I thing these guys are using (HID) High Intensity Discharge and Halogen in the same terms...Everything they are saying refers to Halogen.

 

take a look in my gallery. i used REAL hid projectors out of an 07 range rover.

 

good look and your right, I was thinking they're the same. silly me

 

storm, i sent you a pm. any more q's, let me know.
