I took a chance and ordered a set of headlights from a place called Baja HID Retrofits. The guy took a OEM style HID housing and put in Morimoto projectors, HID, and C-bar DRLs. I think it came out great and exactly what I was looking for. I've had them in for a few days and am very satisfied, night driving is pretty awesome.

 

Nice. Post night output shots from the driver seat. Thanks!

 

Low Beam.



High beam.



Nice cutoff.

 

I have asked this question in the lighting forum but I'll ask here as well. I'd like to run these without the factory bulb for park/turn, but have to have a bulb in the socket for things to work. I want to run just the c-beam for park/turn. I would have figured that with the c-beam tapped into the wiring harness it would have been OK without a bulb, but no. Is there some sort of jumper I can put in the socket to make the truck think that there is a bulb in there?

 

I wouldn’t recommend. Those C shaped LED’s likely won’t be bright enough for anyone to see you turning when your headlights are on. Plus, the headlights will look strange with an unused portion.

Id just put a quality LED in there. Get a switch back if you watch it to match. It will run white and change to amber for turn signals.

 

Might be aimed a little high Pete.

 

Yes, they are sitting at 38" high at 25', probably will take it down another inch. 39" is the height of my bulb on the truck, the literature I had seen was proper aiming is an inch or two low at 25'. My parking spot is not a level surface so they look really high there.

 

That I had not contemplated. I'll have to check it out at night with HIDs on. During the day they are plenty bright.

 

Looks good. Does it also come with the housing, or did you send yours to be retrofitted?

 

I originally had halogens. This came with the housing and everything needed to instal. One extra thing I used though was a set of Starkey turn signal adapter/inline tap. Those just make things a little more secure than a t-splice into the wiring harness.
