Default HID lights?

Are the kits from xenonhid.com any good? I already have the projectors, just looking for the light kit.

No.

Theretrofitsource.com has everything you need and are high quality components.

I've looked at theretrofitsource, no doubt they make great stuff. I understand the stuff on eBay is total crap, I'm looking for something in the middle. Don't need the Cadillac of lights, but don't want the pinto either.

Honestly, you get what you pay for. these are the lights that help you see

Go cheap, and you'll probably ending up buying TRS stuff anyways later.

If you dont wish to fork over $$$ for retrofit then the next best IMO is innovited HID. 6 vehicles and only one bulb issue that was fixed in less than 72 hoirs by their people.

Not certain what year truck this is on but if this is a HID light added to a headlight without any way to focus this greatly increased output, you will have nothing but a glaring headlight to all oncoming traffic. Now perhaps this is not the case and you already have projectors installed. If not expect to flashed by a lot of oncoming drivers and I would be one of them. Terrible idea at any cost without a projector. Hope I am incorrect about this assumption.

Is TRS the only quality option there is? Surely another company makes quality hid lights.

Not really, no.

They have taken over the market.
