Go to theretrofitsource.com and look at the acme mh1 universal kit. If you select the super lenses you are all in for 170.00 and from what I've been reading are damn good lights.

I am just doing a hid projector retrofit. That is my understanding of what's best for out gen trucks, if I'm wrong correct me. I also will be doing a set of pods in the factory fogs and a 32 inch curved behind the grille. Now I just need to find the best projector I'm leaning toward sypder automotive.

Glad you are able to take constructive criticism without getting upset. For the retrofit, do what JP suggested and go to theretrofitsource.com. You will find everything you need there. Aftermarket Spyder lights are junk don't waste your money.

Go over to google and do some research on retrofitting projectors. It is something you need to learn if you want to do it. Or you could pay somebody to do it for you. It's really not that hard if you take some time to learn.

It's better to accept you are wrong then be ignorant to what is best for the situation. I also don't want to burn the bridge this forum creates for when I need help. These are what I found on the website you suggested are these the correct ones and what else would I need.

Don't do a plug and play kit. This is what you need for a good solid budget build. acme super

Yep. The projector should be switched to super. The harness should be switched to 9004/9007. You will need gray or black sealant depending on what head lights you already have, or will be getting. You can get lightning or Harley replicas pretty cheap on ebay if yours are fogged over.

Thank you. I have a write up on a 32", I have also done two pods in fogs before. I can give pics if I can find some. Read BrowningScrews thread more and research retrofits. Just because of space you can't fit a pod and projector

No problem. Definitely go through BrowningSCrew's thread and read up on the installation process.

The acme supers are simply the morimoto mh1 6.0s by another name so they put out some serious light.
