installation may vary by different size bulbs
this is the longer but safer way do to it
1. REMOVE YOUR GRILLE corner lights too if needed

install your headlights and give then test them out before you put everything else back.

^^ yeah... i went the lazy way on mine and didn't remove the headlight housings, but i had to move my airbox out of the way, and the fit behind the battery was fun.

should be the first...some of you, second thing you should do when you get your truck
first thing would be to buy the H4 housings if you need it

^^ he speaketh the truth. Don't see it as a styling mod (although they are cool) but as a safety mod! You will be able to see way more and peeps will be able to see you better.

4200k or 4300k is the brightest because it has the purest whitest light. everything under turns more yellow and is dimmer while everything above starts turning blue to purple and gets darker. i have 8000k hids and they are very bright and have a bluish tint to them, not to much blue that its just blue lights because that takes away from the useable light output, and not too white that everyone gets pissed and flashes me.

just noticed but that is a HUGE ballast.
