for the blinding drivers part. . too bad so sad. .and the ricer part. . they are japaneese trucks :duh: but on a beter note. . your truck is clean for a 2nd gen

Till you get pulled over and a big ticket, or get followed in to the parking lot and your ass beat. Trust me I've seen it happen both ways, people like you get every one in trouble to bad so sad. Remind me of that next time I see you we will see whos brighter, my 4 kcs, 2 silverstar high beams, 2 lightforce's vs your small hid pnp kit. Bet I will make you have to pull over. But I do not run around on the road light that.

.i mean i grew out of KCs long ago but sometimes puberty comes late with other people

FWIW, KC makes some of the (if not the) best HID's available in the marketplace, so this statement truly confuses me.  Several top TT's and Class 1 cars run them and they are truly exceptional.  Granted, a pair of them costs more than the majority of trucks on this board, but they're impressive to say the least. 
I'm inclined to agree with the above statemtents that you may, in fact, find yourself face to face with Billybobbadass and his baseball bat in a parking lot if you're blinding people with your Chinese HID's on a regular basis...it's not at all unlikely.  Showing a complete disregard for others will "get you far in life"...write that down.  (Stepping off my soapbox now)

Honestly HIDs "On the road" IMO are overated,,, I have seen and ran both,,, There is was not much difference between the early HIDs I had and my H4s... I get the most performance/longevity out of my H4/9003 Conversion kit and its about half the price,,, throw some fancydancy rice burner/bigchevytruckgayland "4wheelparts" aftermarket 6000k-8000k bulbs in there and it is ridiculously bright,, then people are high beaming you even when your on low...    or just stick with the standard SilverStar Ultras, (what I am running at the moment) in my H4/9003 conversion,,, and people still high beam me on low.... It probally has nothing to do with crusin down the road on 39.5's...  :gap:

If you want quality with affordability : http://roundeyes.com/
FYI: Kragen also sells conversion kits,,, I have ran them and they are "ok" that is if you dont mind the lenses fogging/fading over in less than six months,,, looking worse than stock sealed beams....  :disturbed:

Also I found that HID seem brighter but there not! Your suppose to use a projection headlamp with the hid to get to be the correct lighting out with the HID. I was playing around on the web and reading about this.  Not sure how true it is or not but was interesting to read. Youtube.com got a bunch of video on this subject.
