Silverado Factory Parts

HID headlight conversion. Kind of expensive (quite expensive for headlights comparatively to regular halogen) but I think worth it. It is like day all the time in front of my truck. I wouldn't buy another vehicle without them. The conversion kit with the first 2 bulbs was $300 (you can get them now for $200). The bulbs last 3-4 times longer than halogen bulbs, produce a brighter light and use less energy. Best of all they look cool!

Where did you order them? Online?

I actually bought them from a friend who wrecked the car they were in, but he got them online. I have a buddy w/ a 2004 Avalanche and he got them online last year for the same price. You can find them on ebay now for $200-$250 shipped.

I think I know what those look like. What does it look like when you're driving?

Its hard to desribe without being in my truck at night. All I can say is Lots of people think I have my brights on and flash me, and no-one wants me driving behind them, so they move. I hardly use my brights anymore. The reflective properties of this color/band of light is amazing. It seems that I can see the reflection of outlined street signs a mile away on a straight road. Like I said before I wouldn't own another car without them, and if it wasn't an option, I would buy the conversion kit again! I finally posted pictures, check em out.

Yeah, I know a bit about light and how it works. This is a different type of light that's being produced. It carries with it different levels of luminocity and different wavelengths, etc. I might consider getting those on my Trailblazer to test them out.

what comes with the kit? how hard is the installation? is it plug and play or splice and dice? one thing for sure is they are hella bright. later, jd

I Agree, i have hid headlights in my truck too. I also took the computer out and switched a wire so my DRLs are on all the time and i put an amber bulb in them. It took about 10 min and it looks sharp. The whole front of the truck is blue and orange.
