Sounds fishy, simply because for that price, you might end up getting a yellow-ish light, technically "projected". I THINK the true High Intensity Discharge lights will be significantly more expensive, but THEN, you'll get the effect you want.

Well for one...those headlights are still a halogen housing so if you put HIDs in there it would be just like putting them in your stock ones now. It depends on what you want. Those will give you the projector look but you should use silverstar bulbs to do it correctly. You should def do the retrofit. Thatd look awesome.

those would def look good, and youd have to put hids in them to get better light output. retrofits like said above are the best to do for the best light output, but can be pricey

I was actually looking at those earlier, but I have other plans for my truck. I would opt for the black background though. Projectors with the properly matched bulbs such as Piaa Extreme White or Silverstar Ultras would make a huge difference in lighting. I personally like the look but keep in mind that the CCFL halos will eventually dim and there is no way to replace them.

Do you know what type of bulb I need for the bulb for my low?
