Default Hid's?

So im thinking of putting a HID conversion kit in my truck. Does anyone know a few good brands and ones i should avoid, or are they all about the same? Also are they pretty easy to install? Thanks in advance.

Try xenithxenons.com.They have the 2g kit on clearance. Great price. The only difference between 2g and 3g kit is the ballasts are slimmer on 3g

Default Hids

I used OEM housing and they work just fine. Park your truck on level ground about 25' away from wall and your lights should be the same height as lights on your truck. With the HID I dropped my lights about 6" lower than normal. Havent been flashed since I adjusted and lights work great.

http://ddmtuning.com has the cheapest HIDs with a great warranty. Many people I know have gone through them and are happy.
