I put a kit from [www.HID-SIN.com](http://www.HID-SIN.com) on my wifes truck and have been extremely happy with it. It was all plug and play and the light output is great and not too blue. ---

ask layzie… he’s the HID guru. Infact, he’ll probably post a link in here linking you to a thread he already made and precede it with _“Do a search you lazy fuck, this is everything you need to know about HID’s”_ ---

no i don’t have projectors, but i want them. that’s why i’m looking for the easiest way to do this, i have no clue about the whole system and after reading some of layzie’s threads it’s just not sinking in. viper could you maybe find something oem for me so i know what i’m supposed to be looking for? ---
