i think im gonna pull the trigger on some blacked out euro style light pretty soon and was thinking i might as well upgrade the light source as well. Ive looked online at some kits and found some good prices but i don't know if there cheap crap or not. what is the average price for a decent set and what are some good brands.

Some people like DDM hids, their cheap but they work for some people, those are $40-60 i think. I bought HIDs from Hidextra.com and they should be here monday or tuesday, and those are $80 normally. you could spend as much as $180-200 i think

I got some from a friend thats a dealer for $80 and they are lifetime warranty. I had no flickering with my headlights ( I also did the black out euro ) But im running into flickering problems with my fog lights now that its getting colder. Im going to have to upgrade the wiring from the fog light relay to the HID harness.

Customer service at hidextra was good for me, answered all my emails right away. I'm not using their harness or anything, just bulbs and ballast for my hellas

My problem was DOA ballast and a bulb that lasted 2 days, for one vehicle and they forgot to ship a relay harness for my truck. 2 months later I finally get the parts I need.

You don't need one. The warning canceller is for a "Headlight out" idiot light on the dash.

Our trucks don't have that luxury. haha
