I bought 2 sets of these for 2 of my vehicles. American company with a lifetime warranty. Awesome price too!

I have the same lights in my truck for the last year... Great lights, give you exactly what color you ask for and extremely cheap price.

yeah, i had the exact problem.. The help desk guy i talked to, i think steve, said that they are designed for German cars and have reversed polarity. so, the plug on the kit that you plug into the stock socket needs to be put in upside down and it should then work. after you test it, take some electrical tape and just do a once over... I've had it for over a year like that as i said and have no problems

Quick question, but how much better are you able to see now at night with the HID's vs the stock 55W low beam light bulbs that were in the truck to begin with?

I am tired of terrible lighting at night and am considering the HID kit for my low beams. I have 100W high beams that throw good light so I am keeping those in.

lets say this. my girlfriend lives in northern michigan. her dad can see me coming from about 3 miles away.

they really help light up the road a lot better. the lower the number, the better.

4500K is the closest to OEM in color and looks pretty darn good. i have 5000K in my highs and 6000K in my lows. my highs are white with a hint of blue while my lows are light blue.

I'm rambling. basically, HIDs will at least double you light output at night and increase your visibility by a ton.

Thanks that is really good to hear. I will stick to something like the 5000k setup. I want nice and bright white light.

if you want bright white go for the 4300K instead of the 5000K. the 5000 still have blue
