Default HIDs

I have an 05 FX4 and im looking to get some HIDs soon. I think the bulb size is H13 but not sure. Where is the best place to buy a kit and what should i know before i buy? I like the 12 or 15000k.

You might get pulled over with the 12 or 15000K HIDs. That "blue" will definitely stand out.

You absolutely will get pulled over with 12000K or 15000K...thats not even blue anymore, thats purple. If I were you I wouldn't go above 8000K and even still I think it looks like poo...but hey, to each his/her own.

Had my 12000k in my truck for about a year now. Never been a pulled over for my hids and never even flashed for that matter.
I got pulled over once and he did mention my lights but he was reffering to fobs because they are 3000k yellow and very very very bright.

I got mine from that guy and they have been great. Ive been running them for about 4 months now. I ordered 5k’s because I wanted them for good night visibility. 4300’s are what come stock in Mercedes, Lexus, ect and I think that’s the whitest light you can get, but 5K is close to that. H13 is the bulb size if I remember correctly (someone correct me if im wrong here). I agree about not going over 8K, but its your truck so do what you think is best. The search button is a great feature, but sometimes there is info overload.

I have had a set of 6000k hid's on my truck for the Past 6 years. The higher the number on the kelvin scale, the less light (in lumens) it will produce. If you want a better, brighter light to see with stay under 8000k, if you just want a unique color of light, then get a higher number. Hope this helps your choice.
