[81Scottsdale520]

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00802G20C/ref=no...i found this hid kit, the thing is what housing do i need and where do i get it? i hear about this h4 and h7 housing which i dont really understand i need some help!!!!!

You will need a set of headlight conversion lenses. Google or check Ebay and you will find em. A word of advice though, avoid any marked "diamond cut" or "euro" and all the fake projector housings. Look for "e code" housings as that will give you the best and least scattered light output short of doing a proper projector retrofit.

Also id recommend hid kits from ddmtuning.com, good prices and a solid product.

That's spendy.

Go to ddm tuning and get the kits with warranties.

i payd more than that for my hids and relay kit...here are the headlights i used..they are h4 housing headlights so u will need hids that are h4...btw i did 10k hids.... Pilot WI-HL6A 4656 Head Lamp Conversion Kit :...

[bbbc10]

also u will have to cut the hid harness in half then slide the wires threw the rubber boot that goes on the back of the headlight and then rewire the hid harness bacck together

Them things just throwing light everywhere!

Get hella e code lights and a $30 hid kit with the good digital ballasts. I've had mine for a year and no problems and still ha it's lifetime warranty

thanks by h4 there are 3 different ones i am confused about. h4(hb2 9003 bi xenon), h4(hb2 9003 hi/lo halogen), and h4(hb2 9003 single beam) which one exactly would i need? i was looking to keep my dual headlights always on with the lows.

i got them at a flea market here in houston, instead of a harness on the end its just three wires wit a pin on the end and you just stabb them into the harness thats on the truck

[81Scottsdale520]

and in your guys' opinion is the 55w better than the 35w?

[egaray281]

depends on you 55w are brighter, mines are 35w i have no problem with mines just depends how bright you wana go! but i really dont think its too much of a difference in my opinion

[bohmankid]

I bought some of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261136304823...84.m1439.l2649

They came with halogen bulbs and you could put HID bulbs in there. But I bought some 5000K 100/90w xenon H4 bulbs and am using those instead of HID's or halogen bulbs.

The 55w are hard on bulbs and ballasts. And with a good housing are not needed. All you need are h4 housing conversion lights. Like I've said hella e code lights are real good since they don't blind everyone on the road so bad cause they have the light cut off otherwise projectors are the best

Then you just need single pattern bulbs in h4.

single pattern bulbs? i have no idea what that is.
and do you think these are good for the hids?

[81Scottsdale520]

i also found these. the thing im confused about is exactly which h4 bulb goes in there. these were the various types

[INSIDIOUS '86]

The h4/9003 is the style you want.

Advice to all if an aftermarket headlight has that little anti glare shield in front of the bulb it's just trash
Get these in the link.

thanks for letting me know about that shield. and thanks for the info

[bbbc10]

i would get h4b2 9003 single beam, i have the hi/low and the hid an highs are on same time.

[bbbc10]

yea.. i can snap some pics for ya

[bbbc10]

ok i snaped some pics for u...the first pic shows where i cut behind the plug that goes into the factory plug an u can see where i rewired it back together. second pic shows where i cut behind the hid plugs that go into the relay harness for the hids and u can also see where i rewired together. third pic shows u wht it looks like after i cut it. fourth pic is how everything fits threw the rubber boot and how it looks on back of the headlight.

[bbbc10]

i put the wrong pic for the second one..this is the one

[INSIDIOUS '86]

If you want quad hids you will need to wire in a diode as well
