I believe you're looking for HIDs and yes, you get what you pay for. While you can buy a cheap kit from eBay it will have lots of problems on our trucks. Getting a kit from JJ at RetroShop.us. I've had two kits for both trucks in the headlights and the fogs and love them both. I'd suggest a 5000K (pure white) kit or a 6000K (slightly blue). Any higher than that and it turns blue and you lose light. A 55W kit will be the brightest but a 35 W kit is still bright.

Yeah i agree on the "get what you pay for" So are these kits replacing just the bulbs or is it the assembly it self?

You can decide. If you order a projector kit you'll have to bake your headlights
apart and add in the projector and wiring, along with any other mod you'd like. If you just want the bulbs you can do that also and it's just bulbs ballasts and wiring harness.
