HID Light Conversion

Anybody have a link or info on the HID headlight conversion for our trucks? I have a 91.5 W250 and of course the headlights stink out loud so I wanna see about upgrading to the HID and possibly relaying them also. Any help? Thanks

Relays using at least #12 wire will brighten the lights and improve the life expectancy of your headlight switch. IF you still wish to use better bulbs that can't hurt, but do the relays first and I think you'll like the result.

Also, wire the relays so that you turn both beams on for the brights. Install GE HO halogens or similar (55 w low beam instead of 35 w). These produce twice the light & a much better pattern than stock.
DON'T FORGET TO AIM THEM PROPERLY!!

Sylvania Silver Star made a huge difference without the need for a costly HID upgrade.
