Default HID conversion

So I have to rge realization that my headlight light output sucks. I tried new bulbs and it made no difference. Any suggestions on how to get it brighter? I still have the oem headlight housings, but I'm getting a smoked 6 piece set soon. Whats a good, and cheap HID kit that will work and is plyg and play? How are the ebay kits?

Jon_To here on the forum can do a bixenon (high/low beam, as opposed to just lows) 35w kit for $105-$110 dollars. And HIDDirectStore.com has nice looking kits too, but those are $120 for the same equipment. You'll have to re-aim your lights so you don't completely kill oncoming people, but it's such a difference! I love mine and I can see EVERYTHING.

Get a 35 watt kit for your headlights, PLEASE! 55w in a halogen housing is going to blind everyone no matter what. With 35 watts the bulbs will still be 3x brighter than stock. And there's no harness in that to connect to your headlights it looks like. Look at this link, it has everything you need, and the website can also tell you just about everything you need to know about the plug and play kits

I linked the 9007 bulb size because I think that's what your truck is. They carry everything though: http://www.hiddirectstore.com/shop-b...7-hid-kit.html
