Finally got a chance to install the HIDs today and holy **** it kicked my ass at first with over whelming wires but after about 4 hours with a trip to lowes I finally got it done. Only issue I had was one of the retaining clips snapped off when connecting the two leads together but nothing a little electrical tape couldn't fix. Got to test drive with the new head lights and wow what a difference did it make I can actually see where I'm going now. Also looks like I'll need to be adjusting them now after a 10 min drive I was high beamed 6 times.

I've got 2 cents for ya. If you do not have projects in your headlamps you will blind on-coming traffic with HID bulbs.

HIDs are not instant on, they typically take several seconds to come up to full output albeit you can find instant on technology but the bulb life shortens. Also using HIDs in the high beams you will loose flash-to-pass because of the start up time.

If you do put HIDs in your fog lights, consider a Kelvin temperature under 3000 so you get than cut-throught-the-fog ability.

If you have a Sport trim or higher, then you should have projectors. Look for a HID kit that has loading resistors and a relay harness to prevent bulb-out messages. Google "can-bus HID kits" even though bulb out detection has absolutely nothing to do with the vehicle's CAN-buses.

Yup. ^^

I had a 2006 Charger Daytona prior to this, and I installed HID's from a company called DDMTuning. They lasted the 5 years I had the car. I'd go there again to buy some for the truck.

BossHogg is right about the lights blinding, but you don't *need* projector housings, if your low beam headlights have a reflector cover that shields the buld itself, you will not blind oncoming traffic. The high beams and fog lights will not have a reflector shroud and you will blind oncoming traffic (if you've never seen an HID bulb lit, it's like looking at a mini sun.

But as stated above, do some research first. . . last you want to do is start blinding oncoming traffic (they might drift into you)
