You can get the HID kit here for our trucks:
XenonLink.com HID Conversion Kit.

I put 8000Ks in mine, which are white with a bit of blue tint. 10000Ks are VERY blue, and too much so, IMHO. I'll dig up the pics of mine later. I'm mobile right now.

nothing against blue lights, but they **** me the F off. they never aimed correctly, and the HID bulbs are not made for our housings , you neet cutoff plate inside of the projector to stop the light from blinding people in the front of you . thats whay all the european cars have in all the projector HID headlights.
if i could i would have cup give all of them a ticket 99% of those Chinees HID kits are not street legal... nor DOT approved...
BTW all OEM bulbs are around 4100k - 4300k, the reason Audi,Mercedes,BMW looks blue is caused by tha cut off plate inside , it makes PRIZM effect - it bends the light separating White light and causing Blue light to be more visible.
8000k bulbs are just imitation , and poor one. blue light is worse for visiblity and BLINDS people in oncoming traffic...
please guys if you care about other drivers get the Bosh Ballasts, D2S bulbs and projectors that you can cut your headlight and install them in, this way you do it the correct way...

rant over, i hope noone is po at me...

thanks

BTW do you think if Blue light would be so good for driving why wont they use them in Rally races or any other races? they use Yellow White or True HID lamps... which is White light not BLUE

thanks

Did you even look at the pics, guys? I can show you my stock bulbs with the SAME EXACT image against my garage. What you say is true, if someone puts in HID bulbs meant to go with the projection lenses. My HIDs exactly duplicate the light from the standard bulbs because they're the same shape and emit light from the same point in the ***'y. That's why they cut off correctly. And, yes, they are NICE & bright. No different than someone putting in silver stars, a bright box, and upgraded harnesses.

I've NEVER been flashed -- NOT ONCE. I'm not "PO", but what you said isn't completely true...
