headlights

[justram2013]

ive had my 2013 sport for 2 years, always thought the headlights suck, anyone else find the stock lights not very bright? anyone have any suggestions, i dont know much about HIDS, they hard to install or should i just replace the bulbs. or could it be the headlights arent aimed properly?

All kinds of threads about this. For a quick change, find some H9 bulbs to replace the low beams. You have to trim a small plastic piece on the bulb, but is supposed to be easy to do. They are reported to be much brighter than stock.

H9 - low beams
9011 - high beams
9012 - fogs

Otherwise, you'll have to go with HIDS. Some say they are easy to install, some have issues. Also, the newer trucks can get finicky with the HIDS too. But, I can't remember if it's '13+ or the '14's & 15's only.

Hit up Jeremy at Retroshop to get some HID'S! Go canbus adaptors, it's so easy. Literally plug and play!

I had some ballasts that gave me trouble so one night I had 1 low beam working. That 1 low beam light was brighter than 2 stock lights!

If you do have any issues Jeremy is quick to help you fix them. Definitely worth the money!

is there any drilling involved etc? and are the ballasts and resistors easy to mount?

to go with that do they even need resistors? i have done some reading and same say you dont need them but have talked to a performance shop and they said i need the hid kit plus 2 resistors and a harness. Also wondering if just simply putting in piaa halogen bulbs would be good enough, any help here is appreciated
