HID Question
Ok, since a lot of you guys have done it, this is the place to ask. I have the 93 silverado with clear headlights, and was thinking about doing HID's. What is a decent kit, has to be very reasonably priced also. If someone could get me an ebay link that would be great. Also, how hard is the install, to aim, etc. How does it all work, and do i not use my high beams then? what about wiring them into the switches? Let me know guys, thanks again...

i got mine from intensehid.com they're 100 bucks a kit. you would need 2 kits if u wanted to put them in the high beams too. they're really easy, just plug and play. you don't need to wire them to switches or anything. no aiming either.

If you go on ebay you can find them for as low as 40 bucks a set. I have had a lot of luck with them, just look for a US seller.

I found some on Amazon for about 80 bucks a pop. I am not sure what to get yet though. A buddy of mine has 8000k and they don't light up the road worth a darn at night out here in the open country. He's about to put in some 5000k and let me know the difference. If you're a city driver though any of them should do fine.
