once you buy hids and get used to em itll be weird as hell driving anything with halogens. sooooooooo much brighter and clearer than regular halogens. theyre WELL worth the investment and make the truck look cool. theres a guy on here that sells hid kits for like 90 or 100 bucks

Use the search function. Search on 'HID". You will see that this is a question that comes up about once a month. You will find plenty of posts to read through and judge your decision on.

I purchased from the guy on here. Great set! Awesome customer care and satifaction. Great tech support over the phone. No problems w/ my set, came w/ a 1 yr warranty, and doubt I will even need it after that. I highly recommend buying from him. Go w/ the 6k kit, as that seems to be the flavor for most.

i have a set of just the 6000k xenon bulbs, they are a lot better than the stock bulbs, they take like 2min per side and they are a quarter the price of HIDs
