Has Anyone Done an HID Headlight Conversion?

texas hd · 10-18-2008, 07:37 PM

Has anyone done an HID headlight conversion? I hava an '05 HD Crew Cab. If you have please discuss. Be specific as to what parts, brand, etc. I am looking to do this and want to do it right the first time. I am also concerned if there will be any damage to the stock lenses. Thanks.

Good question. I have though about doing the same on my truck. I also look forward to learning more on this.

Looking into a kit and group buy program from my Corolla list, we have a great source there for HID kits. Stay tuned

Hey gang I got some prices for a group buy on an HID kit.
EXES 55w in any color at $189.00 shipped.
If we get 10 or more he will knock off $10 bucks. I have not tried this kit yet but the guys on the Corolla list have and report no problems.

I'm going to see if I can get an eval. unit to install so as I can report back to you all.

I have xenon HIDs in all my lights. looks sweet to but i had to aim them down. Apparently the cop thinks they are to bright during a sunny afternoon.

you are correct... the lower the temp the brighter they are to a point...

anytying in the 4300-5k is pretty much bright white..

6k is what a BMW or Mercedes would have
8k is pretty blue
anything above that is purple...
