[boble94]

haha damn Haks, you pretty much stole that thread lol.. im running the TYC hids like haks and love em, im running 4300k not 6000k like haks. It was nite and day with the new hids over stock head lights. I wish i would of upgraded my lights since day 1.

that's what i'll probably do when i get the truck. its going to hard with a part-time job.
T_T

i see. i did not know that the 55w will wash out the color so thanks for letting me know. as in wiring harness, are you talking about using the ballast/wires they include?
>drownindreams: where did you get your headlight/bumper light housing?

stylintrucks.com , the headlights were $145, and the bumper lights included were about $200. you can find them for $80 on ebay.

Honestly pay the extra but for good quality headlights bro.. those ebay are cheap but they're not just switch out u gota do some nick nacks to get them on.(you get what you pay)LOL

 

[boble94]

yeah i know what i get for what i pay.
xD
i might just go out to autozone and get the clear headlights and bumper lights for 175 i think?

nooooooo autozone = FAIL
those would be just as bad as ebay ones.

i found these for $150 for the complete set. ik a guy on gmt400 has them and they work well for him. i'm not sure how they compare to the tyc tho

 

[haks310]

Those are $165 shipped

You can easily get those parking lights and corners for $50 shipped. So you are paying $115 for the headlights. I'd pay the extra $17 to get the TYCs and know they will fit and work great.

no, mine are from styling trucks. they're legit.

i was however going to order new headlights for my suburban and found that the entire setup is much cheaper on ebay, so i went with it. its the same exact thing, great quality

 

[boble94]

hmm...

so many companys with headlights.

 

[drowndindreams]

i would go with stylin trucks, i buy most if not all my parts from them

and if those leak, atleast its a big company to ***** at ya know.

 

[boble94]

So is there a site that has cheap legit lights?

 

[boble94]

One of my bumper bulb has burnt out and so i went to the store to replace it.
the book said 2357. but i couldn't find amber style. all they had was just regular whites. The guy said that 2057, 2357, and 1157 are all the same. The 2057 are supposely brighter than 1157, and 2357 > 2057.
so what is the actual difference? I am using 2057 currently. Is there any way to update the wiring to a wedge type bulb? Thanks.

 

[haks310]

Just use the 1157s, no reason to go out switching wiring.

 

[boble94]

well, i know that i can use 1157 and 2057. just wondering if it was possible to swtch out wiring. just a curious question.

QUESTION:

so the hid's wont fit properly in my aftermarket headlights? i got a whole clear front light kit (headlights,turning,corner) and want to know if i will have problems if i do the hid upgrade???

 

[haks310]

They should fit without a problem.

The only concern is glare, those headlights you got are probably designed for halogen bulbs, not HIDs. Just aim the headlights down some so you wont be blinding everyone.

 

[riviera rider]

sounds good

 

[sparg93]

what do you guys think of this?? Essentially with HIDs, you should have projector housings which are usually really expensive.

I found these...

Anyone ever try them before or deal with this company? IMO, the price might be too low...the other sets i've checked out are $275+ (some $400) so I wonder if this is more like ebay garbage than anything else.
