I can choose what I want them for. They will have to be 9005 since both slots on my halos are 9005's. I will put the HID's in the low beam spot and put silverstars in the high beam spot. Should look quite nice, and bright lol.
And here is the set i won clicky here!!

What K rating? I wonder how the cheap ones will work, I went ahead and bought the "small step up from cheap" ones.

I hope you went for the 4300k... The cheap bulbs tend to color shift pretty early, and they're going to get bluer on ya...
Besides, 4300k gives you the most light 
And I highly recommend that you get a wiring harness that powers the HID's from the battery, and wire your truck so the low beams stay on when you turn the high beams off...

To tell you the truth, I am on my way to ebay right now to pay for these. I am going to get the 4300K. What do you mean a wiring harness so the low beams turn on when the high beams go off, they do already. My low beams automatically go on when I disengage my high beams, pretty sure everyones do . Do you mean that the low beams stay on when I turn my high beams on, cause that sounds killer to me

Yes, lol, so your low beams stay on when you turn on your highs
The wiring harness is so your HID draws power right from the battery, instead of through the factor wiring... The ignition charge can spike over 20 amps, so it's good to have it's own power, that's only triggered from the low beam plug

Okay, sounds like a plan to me. Where do I get this harness or can I make one myself and what gauge wire should I use for this? I went with the 6000K after some searching around and looking at pictures of how 4300K and 600K light up the road. See, I go to Maine alot with the family and want to take the blazer up with some freinds one of these years and alot of Maine roads don't have street lights.

Unless you know pictures are taken with the same settings on a good camera, it's hard to compare lighting...
4300k is the brightest... But at least 6000k isn't the worst... hopefully they don't colorshift too badly...
You can either make the harness yourself... 12 - 14 guage wire is recommended, or you can probably find one on ebay, or get one from www.pilothid.com whichever works for you.
If you're good with electronics, I'd say built it yourself... If you're going to have uses for the extra wire, lol

They came in the mail the other day from FEDEX. I am not supposed to be using the computer right now because I am having a problem with my eyes that I get once in a while from what I think is using the computer too much or it is a nerve/stress thing that makes me blink my eyes like crazy and by the end of the day it looks as if I have two black eyes because they are swollen from blinking constantly. I don't know exactly what causes it, but it just stops whenever it wants too. It is getting better so I thought I would show a pic of the new add on. These are pics of the unit. i am installing it next week along with a few other changes on my vacation. I will post pics during and after the install. Okay, here it is!!
Sorry for the quality. It's with my cell camera, but the quality is actually not bad for a cell phone.

Thats huge for a cell pic! The ballasts are a little different than what I have, but the kit looks very similar. Are they UL approved?
