Has anyone done a HID conversion? I was looking for something that has a good light cut off so i don't blind people. I drive at night a lot and the old halogens just aren't enough for me.
I was thinking about something like this kit here : http://www.ebay.com/itm/7X6-SQUARE-PROJ ... 8d&vxp=mtr

I have no experience with the HIDs but must ask, have you considered the relay mod of the stock/OEM headlights?
It basically involves installing a couple of relays. They are wired such that the truck's headlight switch actually powers the relays. They in turn provide power directly to the headlights. In doing so, you're effectively removing all the dinky stock/OEM power conductors from the circuit allowing full 12 ~ 14vdc to the headlights. Further, with the addition of a single/simple diode, one can have both the low AND high bulbs illuminate when turning on the high-beams.
- Be sure to enlarge the headlight ground (common) conductors for each bulb as they are surprisingly small.
- Be sure to enlarge the stock/OEM body (truck) ground from the battery to the radiator support. It's dinky too.
Hope this helps.
