HID's, 3am, snow
I am trying to load the video off my phone but am having issues . Here is a pic traveling in South Utah at about 3am headed to Idaho from Albuquerque.
Snow we got last night at my parents in Donnelly Idaho
The truck did VERY well on the snow and ice. I was a bit nervous at first with such big tires but she glued right to the ground. Southern Utah was -11 degrees so that helped a bit! LOL
Maybe i can email the vid to someone and they can load it. Photobucket does not want to pick up the video for some reason. Took it off my phone.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

that is what I was impressed about. it is hard to tell but the snow was really coming down and if I had the factory lights, it would have been hard to see. There was many times I was able to drive with the high beams on while snowing badly. I could actually see! It is sweet!

I got screwed by a company named eurofx. then HIDSPEED.COM hooked me up with the needed parts. Ended up spending what HID Speed wanted in the first place. IMO the customer service was worth the price and knowing that I dont have problems.

These are the ones that I bought and did not need any extra parts. Just installed them and they work great.

Are you guys using the factory headlight housings or using the projectors? I have heard HID kits in halogen housings can be horribly off on their aim.

How does the high/low function work with that kit? I have seen some that move the bulb in-out and some have 2 separate bulbs. It was a little hard to tell by looking at the pic plus some just list generic pics.

I got some like these and they work great, no high beam HID but the HID and highs come on together, no problems here.... just your preference I guess.

So when you turn on your regular lights the brights come also? How was the fit of those lights? Easy install?
