[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 2393675, member: 4307"] Just slapping HID's in a reflector housing is uncool, causes vision problems for oncoming traffic, and I believe not D.O.T. legal. Proper H.I.D. lamps are in a reflector housing and have a distinct cut off line. Also the longer wave length (Lower K number) lights are better for seeing with but the shorter wave length blue tinged color is what everyone want's because it looks cool. A proper retrofit kit for my truck is around $350 dollars and lots of work fitting the projector inside the headlamp housing. I can just slap ballasts and bulbs in it for about $100. The first option is the correct option the second option actually reduces how well you can see at night and is dangerous to oncoming traffic.
