H.I.D. Lighting
hey guys just saw a "Thanksgiving" special on here for HID kits.... not that cheap.... Check out www.ddmtuning.com. For my 98 f150 that has the 9007 hi/low bulb it would cost around 85 bucks for 55Watt 8000k with the slim ballast... pretty cheap IMO. LIFETIME WARRANTY

I need the wiring harness because sometimes after the flicker I have to turn them off then on again, really annoying and huge chance of a ticket where I live if I do know one is off.

current draw of hid, from stock halogens, is significantly more. Stock wiring harness can not light up both on my truck. they both flicker and 95% of the time one them goes off. Really annoying because I have to wait a minute while the truck is running then i turn the headlights off then on again and they usually both stay on.
Relay harness gets 12V directly from battery at 40A. There is usually a 20A or so fuse in line as well (like an amp) to keep the right amount of power to them. Solid investment for me personally as one headlight is a cop magnet for a good hassling, any reason to pull you over they will jump on and harass you as though you are the biggest dealer of all time.
Sometimes I enjoy them questioning me because I have nothing to hide and enjoy watching them be hard-asses even though I know I can toss them around if I really wanted too.
So far I have been given 3 warnings in 1 month...it's getting old.
Driving around the city where I am there is enough light on streets and from businesses so you can't tell if your headlights are on or not (5-6pm) and that's when they get you. At night it's obvious when half the road is dark but it's just annoying to deal with it every time ya know.
I just ordered 2 sets off ebay.
8000K bixenon H13...$65 shipped
8000K fogs H10...$32 shipped
Went back to see if i got a harness, didn't, so I got one 1 $12 shipped.
$110ish for 2 full HID sets and harness with warranty for less than 1 pair quoted here. They are all from China, it may be a USA seller but they put their brand on the ballast/igniter. They all come from the same place pretty much, no reason to pay double for the same thing.
I'll post pictures before/after install.
