Default Anyone know a good HID Conversion kit?

OK so I know that there are a lot of kits out there well when I bought my truck it has a cheap kit in it that only converted the low beams the high beams are still halogen .. I want to covert the whole thing to 8000k hids... anyone got a link to a good kit around 100-200 dollar range? Also I have an iron cross bumper with fog lights and I would like to convert those too

There's no such thing as a good cheap HID kit.

The PnP HIDs in halogen housings blind oncoming drivers with glare.

That having been said,

This is the kit that I use. This is the third car Two f150s and a Corolla. Never had a problem with them. No melting, burning, Nothing. Love these things. The best part is that they are all a strait plug and play setup. Just tell what car you have. No cutting, wiring, nothing. Just find a good place for the computer and plug it in. I get them for $50 and it comes with a 1 year warrenty. ON THE WHOLE SETUP. Bulbs and computer. This one is a 8k that i have in my headlights and going to be putting in my fog lights. THey make all kinds up to 20k I think. but that is crazy bright.


Hope this helps.

Got a link to check them out? I haven't done anything with my stock lights yet and have been contemplating doing some kind of upgrade.

I'm confused, how do you have halogen high beams and hid lows? The 04-08 f150's have the h13 bulb for both. There is only one bulb in the lamp for high and low beams.

Pretty much all the aftermarket headlights use separate low and high beams. That's probably what he has and the previous owner converted the lows to HID and left the highs alone.

It has a small bulb on it. To me it looks like a 192 bulb on it. It does shine (NOT TO BRIGHT) but with 8k hids I don't think you really need a high beam. I have a light bar hidden behind my grill if I need more light. That's why I have gotten so many of my friends to get them. Just plug and go. No fuses, wires, cutting, relays.

I'm sure the other drivers in your area appreciate your efforts to blind them with glare.
