Default best place to get HIDs?

I am looking to get some HIDs for my new ram, but don't want super blue or anything and want them adjusted correctly. Basically want a stock look. Any place local that will have them or can I get them online and get them adusted properly easily enough myself? Thanks alot.

what do you mean "adjusted properly"?

ebay is where you can find HID kits cheap, and if you don't want blue just stay with 6000k or less.

HIDstore.com is where I got mine, the color has to do with the tempurature bulb you get. Most stock cars stay at about 6000k. You can buy a plug and play kit that includes starter/ballasts and bulbs on there and install them yourself.

we are placing an order with our distributor on tuesday. if you are interested, come on by, you can see the hids on our cars.

we use apexcone hid kits, with a life time warranty (just pay for shipping for replacement parts, which usually runs between 10-15 dollars)

we sell a lot of 6000k kits because it offers white light, and a very white look. here's the 6000k kit on my civic.






i like 6000k because it gives a good color and good light output, and it's not outragous blue/purple, less chance of an officer pulling me over.

any questions, give us a call.

I don't want light hitting people in the eyes as I drive past and I want a clean line of cutoff from the light.

in that case, you will need projector lights, or a very well designed reflector housing that is designed for use with HIDs.

or you can always get HID bulbs with a shield to reduce glare...
