Brighter Headlights
I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on how to make 6000k HIDs in stock headlight housings any brighter? Somebody told me to remove the headlight reflector inside the lens? Would that even work and if so how would you go about doing it?

well they are pretty bright but they just dont light up as far and was just wondering if there was any ideas to make them shine farther? I do alot of driving on open roads late at night and would be nice to light up a little farther down the road

Ahhh...yeah the stock headlight housings dont really direct the HID lights to any particular place. I would suggest getting a pair of offroad lights to put on your truck to help with the additional light.
The only advice I can give but I wouldnt suggest it is to make sure the headlights are pointed correctly. You can aim the headlights higher if the lights are pointed down too far but then you run the risk of blinding everyone that drives in oncoming traffic. Its a fine line between pissing other people off and you yourself being satisfied with the light output.

On the top of the headlights there should be a screw. It is just the threaded part sticking out. You just rotate it clockwise to lower them and counter-clockwise to raise them. I might have that reversed so dont hold me to it.
