HID lights

Well i've been wanting to try this for a while, so last weekend i converted my headlight bulbs over to 35 watt 6000K HIDs, the factory housings aren't the best pattern but not bad and they are really bright they make my Hella fogs look like yellow candles so i guess i'll convert them next.

The conversion is simple, fairly cheep and no bulb out light on the dash so far so good.

Where did you get the kit, how hard was it, how long did it take you?

I don't know if i can post the link from dodgetalk.com o i'll PM it to you.

The kit was easy to install once i figured were to mount the ballasts, over all about 1.5 hours.

just a reminder the kit you have does not meet d.o.t. it does blind other drivers and can get you ticketed. when you get ready to do it correctly just move the ballast and lamps to the fog
