How much do you want to spend?

I think the better question is "do you want them to work right" :Wedgie:

jawsla503 - I resell kits through Retro-Solutions.net - take a look over there, eligible kits get 10% off by using coupon code "JJ".

Don't forget to select H13, and the appropriate harness (pick the 06+ Dual in the dropdown for the application). :birgits_tiredcoffee

Well I'm not wanting to spend a whole lot. And I want a set that's bi xenon with hid lo's and high's not the kits with halogen high's. Maybe like 125 tops the lower the better

The digitals (bixenons) run around 170 for the 35W kit. Great kit! Not $125, but a damn great kit for our trucks

$125= no HIDs for you

You can probably piece the kit you need together on FleaBay but after you try and install it you will wish you bought the Retro-Solutions kit to begin with.

Although its hit or miss with the eBay kits I got the "xentec" brand hids off of eBay and knock on wood I've yet to have a problem with them. I've used the same ballasts in all three of my trucks an never had an issue. The only problem is I get flashed all the time like I have my brights on but I don't even have brights so I tend to feel like a jerk. Not to badmouth retro solutions by any means because I've seen some of the work and kits around on this website and it's amazing but at the same time my 40 dollar hid kit is pretty bright for being some cheap knock off and I've had zero issues with the kit itself. I'm probably just the luck one this time though. Lol

The bottom line is: Spend the money getting a proper kit, or spend nearly twice as much buying the high quality kit the second time around.

Oh I must have missed he had a 3rd gen! I have a 2nd so that could be why it's not as picky with the lights too!
