Looks good man i have hids in regular housings too and its way nicer driving at night, havent had anyone flash me either, aim em down a bit and drive. Imo retro fit if u must but leave halo projectors to ricers we drive ford trucks!

Dude don't listen to the haters, I got 6k hids in my 93 f150 no projectors and I wired it myself and your install looks better, don't need projectors and whatever you do, halos are for ricers, but to each his own, your truck your decisions, don't let anybody tell you how to build your truck. Clean job and sweet truck

Hi to the OP
I know hids are for looks too, but are your 6000k brighter or less bright at night (from drivers perspective)?

The Flying Farmer

PS you got a link to your specific brand?

6000k hids made my 100watt hella flood lights with nighthawk platinum bulbs un noticable at night.. also if you aim them down people dont get blinded

The Flying Farmer

Bashing HID installs in stock housings seems to be a popular sport among the less endowed crowd.
I put a set of 5300's from Xenon Depot in my stock housings. The difference is unbelievable. Night driving in remote country roads is so much better and safer.
Ps. Not one protest from an oncoming car in four months of driving.

Like your enthusiasm for modding, however, if you're going to do it, do it right once. HIDsare nice, I have my kit from the retrofit source, but need to run those with the lens too.


There's plenty of yahoo's here in Hawaii in their Toyotas that install "HID" when all they did was just install the ballast and bulb but no lens... It's freaking blinding and dangerous as hell to oncoming drivers.

i think they chgd up my housing cuz of the prijector eye and my lights really reach out there, i had to angle them down slightly, cuz i didnt want to blibd the guy coming head on and have a head on. wouldnt be good for him or me they had to of chgd the set up inside cuz even when lights down a few degress they still reach way out there and im not being flashed either. so if you do this, have pros alter them and set em up, then remember others have to see so come down a tadn dont worry you can still see way out there.
