Default HID Headlights - Any Suggestions?

Can anyone recommend a good kit that provides Hi, Lo, Flash-To-Pass and works with DRL? (or is too much to achieve?)

Hi, I put a pair of these in. They were direct drop ins, and (at least on my '09) I didnt need to modify anything to fit. Am well pleased with the results, lot better than standard.

I would definitely go with something like mentioned above. I've ran HID's in so many of my vehicles from when they first hit the consumer market over 10 years ago.


Typically you want to run a relay kit with HID's. That makes them more reliable and it allows the power to be drawn from the thicker relay harness compared to the small factory light wiring.


I have military 24 volt LED lights in my rig. They're definitely not as bright as HID's but completely reliable. I started having issues with corroded relays and wiring so I just ripped out my HID's and never looked back.


This pic shows the lows on, the highs light up the lower portion of the light as well.

Basically any 7" round headlight should work in the 2's.

I have the truck-lites in mine and I love them. You need adapters for the wiring so you don't have to cut the factory harness. The truck lites are made in the USA.

Baldfox, a question if I may, do you have any links for the parts you used and how expensive were they. I'm in the UK so getting hold of stuff is a little more tricky.

Thanks!

I'm based in moscow, although from the UK originally. These are what I took:

truck lite 27270c

http://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-272...ct_top?ie=UTF8

http://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-Hea...1N42845EVFD38M

Much cheaper in the US than trying to get in europe. They're not that heavy, maybe worth a quick jolly in the States ?
