anybody know of any kits for a super duty ford say XENON or HID
not really sure of the difference.

But the kinda of lights i wouldn't mind are similiar to what you see on the BMW and BENZ you know the luxury brands

thanks a lot

 

Check the bulb size (should be 9004, 9006 or whatever) and purchase a quality kit online. Just google "HID lights" and there should be a specific HID exclusive place that sells the best quality ones (can't rember the name off the top of my head). Don't go any higher than 4300K though, it is just a waste of money and you won't be able to see any better. Most likely (unless you pop for the uber expensive dual element kit), you will lose your high beams. Lemme know what you find (post it here).

 

somebody told me PIAA was probably one of the best is this true? if so they have bulbs for HID. Now do the bulbs just plug in? soo what does the 4300k mean and everything. and also what is XENON?

thanks a lot

 

You will have to find a place for the ballast boxes and whatnot, but basically, they are plug and play. Some power and ground wires have to be run, but there should be no splicing of the factory wires in a good and properly ordered kit. Most of the kits are going to have the same bulb and ballast manufacturer, so just browse a bit on the internet to find a decent one. Also note, if it looks too good to be true (ie a really cheap price), it probably is. El cheapo HID kits will not last you very long. Look for Phillips bulbs and ballast. Generic kits will be a waste of money and burn out quickly.

Once you get them in, try to refrain from using the "flash to pass" thing as much as possible when the headlights are off. It will kill the life of the bulb even though it is almost strobe like and great for getting peoples attention. Most reputable manufacturers will tell you the same thing I am telling you, I hope you can find something decent out there.

Another idea for finding a good kit would be to either do a search on www.supraforums.com or www.honda-tech.com as they all are HID freaks.

Xenon is what is in the true HID bulbs. Alot of manufacturers will put that on their regular bulbs hoping to help people spend 100 bucks on a set of bulbs that is going to melt your wiring harness.
