To answer your question without going off on HIDs, you can put them in the stock ones just fine. I think most of the projector headlights will work too but most have a housing for the low beam and a housing for the high beam. So unless you buy two HID kits you should stick to a housing that has just one place for the bulb like the stock ones. I had 6k ones in the stock housings and they were fine but I kept shorting out ballasts when I was going offroad so I took them out. |
I really want to do the retrofit but I am not convinced on how well they will hold up offroad.

No problem. I might be getting these headlights because I found my one leaks...

That way when I put the HIDs in them they wont be as bright. Especially for us lifted trucks...we gotta point these headlights a good ways down in order to not blind other people.

I had a bad experience with eBay projectors on my old dodge, they didn't fit right and cheaply made and light output wasn't too great even with hids. If you wanna get the real deal and do a retro fit and you can't do it yourself, Jeremy at retro shop is great and very reasonable, about 350 for bixenon projectors (like the ones in bmws and acura). I have Harley headlights in my truck with kensun 4300k hids and they are VERY bright, I don't plan on changing them at all, just gettin a pair of hids for my fogs soon
