Default HIDs

hey everyone,
i was thinking about getting myself a pair of HID's for my headlights and fog lights. im not sure if i want 6000k or 8000k any views on it if u have them?

since the h13 bulbs come in single or bi, if i get single would i still have full access to my stock hibeams? are they hard to hook up rather than plug n plays?

and where is a good place to buy them that dont have to much glare or for a good price? i was thinking about HIDWORLD.com but idk if there legit

does anyone have any pictures?
i have an 07 ford f150 fx4

thanks in advance everyone
happy holidays

I wouldn't buy them unless you plan on upgrading from the stock housing. If you choose not to do so you will blind oncoming traffic BADLY.

If you get Bi-xenon ones make sure the Hi beams aren't just a halogen bulb, many companies do this and it ends up where the low beams are brighter than the Hi's.

The Hella replacements are nice, but they aren't projectors so the cut off still won't be as good, but they are better.

Can't help you on that one, more or less design features I assume.

so i went to a local race shop and they wanted $120 for plug and play and they said bi was the same price. they said they would give me a deal of $220 for headlights and for the fogs.. should i go with plug and play or just spend the extra and wire them up.. whats the difference? and my friend said they would melt an screw up my wiring and headlights.. is this true?
