There are so many kits now I don't know where is the best. I know they mentioned a few places they had good luck with in this thread.
I haven't bought any yet so I can recommend any place.
Lots of my friends have them and love them though.

Last year they came out with the Silverstar H-13, which is the same as the 9008 bulbs.

Upon installing our kit, you will lose your hi beam unction. However, a lot of our customers are willing to give up their hi beam function because with the HID lo beam, it actually covers enough lighting. We do not have the hi/lo for the 9007, 9004, and H13 HID bulb, because the bulb base is too small to mount two HID bulbs on it.

Finally! Thank you for chiming in. I have referred a lot of people to hidplanet to do their own research. That is where I found all of the information to do my retrofit.

Not to be a wet blanket, and I may be incorrect, but I believe that I've read somewhere that the HID's are illegal to install and run unless your truck (or car) came with that as an option to begin with.
