Ebay can be your best friend, just be sure to find a kit the has both hi-low functions.

Also be sure to brush up on how strict they are with HID laws and regulations in you're area.

I bought a set off eBay for my last truck. Was suppossed to be blue but they were pink. And the company that sold em to me wouldn't do anything about it.

eBay is very good for our trucks. Make sure it's a high rated seller

Guy on here, Jon_to sold me mine. Waranteed them and all. He's in the vendor section. Just give him your truck's age and light temperature and you're good to go. Don't get high/low beams. Just lows. The way the bulb manipulates for high beams doesn't work in our light housings and is pretty much a waste of the extra $60 they are or whatever.

I'm fixing to go back to halogens though. Not liking the light spread too much.

Mine just go from light-spots here, here and there.... to there, there, and here.

Pretty much the same thing.

my HIDs are aimed so they shine just like my normal headlights, but a lil lower. the highs point up more and shine much further down the road. not saying projectors wouldn't help.

I second getting them from Jon_To, I've had my hi/low kit for 15 months now without a single issue. 6000k.

Jordan, do you have aftermarket clear lens lights or stock lights? I found that in my stock housings the high beam was worthless, but with clear lenses (same housing) they now make a pretty big difference!
