Hid Lights and a Leveling Kit?
Hey all,
I have a pro comp leveling kit on my 2004 F150 and am thinking about getting HId lights for both headlight and fog lights. Does anyone have this currently? I feel like i would really blind people in front of me in traffic.

Basically all of these kits are HID capsules fitted onto standard bases. You will have less usable light on the road, and rediculous amount of glare. There is however, a way to get HID lighting on your F150. The way to do this is by doing a complete retrofit. You would get projectors, bulbs and ballasts off of a HID factory equipped car and retrofit them into you stock housing.
I did a retrofit on my F250 and the difference in lighting is unreal. I used the equpitment off of a Acura TL. The bi xenons on this car are top of the line and the entire project cost me roughly 6-700 dollars. Well worth it in my opinion. Here is the link, it is a great project for a DIYer!

I put in the http://www.euroeffects.net/ 8000K HID kit off of eBay for $170...2 things...
1 The High beam option is useless, a flash light is brighter
2 the 8000k is highest I would go, actually I would go with the 4300 or 6000K next time, brighter and whiter.
The low beam is unreal and well worth it though...

Anyone used something like those? I know you get what you pay for, but they say they are bi-xenon and do hi/low beam.

That's pretty much what I got off ebay except I went for the 170 ones b/c they used phillips ballests and those are usually better than the cheaper china knockoffs...but who knows I probably got a cheapo with a nice phillips sticker on it...LOL
