![]() To be honest - since we have 7" round headlights I'd personally suggest a good quality LED 7" round headlight. I've personally taken a common cheap HID ballast and powered it up with a good HID bulb and then powered the same HID bulb up with a top quality Hylux aftermarket ballast and the difference was staggering. There are proper ways to retrofit HID to halogen housings and top notch ballasts, etc for it but it is not simple or cheap. Also - the cheapest Chinese HID ballasts are absolute garbage. All aftermarket HID bulbs are HID capsules made for actual HID headlights (D1S, D2R, D3S, etc) and either acquired before they are made into HID bulbs or cut off of those other real HID based and then carefully fitted to the wrong bases so that they will fit on non-HID housings. The main brands do make LED's for every other light on your vehicles though and they even offer HID replacement bulbs for vehicles that came with them (because they know the housing was designed for it). That is because the headlight housings are not designed for them. There is a reason the main brands like Phillips, Sylvania, etc do not offer LED replacements for halogen headlight bulbs. Halogen reflector housings are just not designed for HID or even LED bulbs. If you want to do it properly I'd suggest doing a bunch of research on it. HID capsules when used in headlights are supposed to have a projector lens with a cutoff bar inside which does not allow the light above the bar out so that they are not blinding other drivers. With reflector housings designed for halogen bulbs you will be creating giant floodlights, great for you for up close (horrible distance) visibility, blanding for everyone else. ![]() ![]() I also feel that (even with most of the drop in LED's as well) if you are going to put in HID bulbs than you need to get some projector housings as well so you are not one of those people that are blinding everyone else. ![]()
