I can confidently say, that after having 2 cars with HID's that I have put in myself, I will NEVER go back to halogen, and every car I ever own from now on, old or new will have an HID kit. The difference is staggering:







The kit is from XenonDepot, 35w 6000k Bi Xenon.

Wow...

I'd hate to be the guy in front of you....

You can blind everyone now.

I have owned cars with and without, driving at night isn't much different for me.

Exactly......

OP: I hope you have those aimed down. It's such a pain when you're driving along and some truck drivers lights are BEAMING inside your car.

ArmyofOne

yes, they are aimed at the ground. This is me you guys are talking to, I am not retarded. I hate that crap too.

The factory HID's use the same housings as mine without projectors, so no, I do not have projectors. The ones that come factory on the higher model trucks are actually 55w, not 35w, so they are brighter. Projectors are not nessecary, Cutoff is almost perfect, to the point where projectors would be a waste. My camera just sucks. It looks like alot of glare but its not. I had my wife drive down the block about half a mile. I watched her drive to my position head on, in the road. Didnt even have to squint. I followed my buddy home from a restaraunt tonight, and he drives a small car. I asked him if they were too bright and he said they didnt bother him at all. And no, he does not have tinted windows.

I want to get HID's too, I think that sometimes they actually do make a car look so much better (in most cases). Just waiting on some projectors to retrofit. Oh, and nice job, it looks really nice on the ram.

Very nice, i added hid's to both my es and lx, the lx comes stock with projector headlights and for the es, they are aimed down and the car is already low to the ground as it is, so glare is not much of an issue, i have never been flashed or told my lights were to bright in either car in the year and a half they have been put in

I did the same thing as you, went from halogens to HID kits. I was amazed and thought I could be perfectly happy like that.
I proved myself wrong. I got my headlights retrofitted with HID projectors...and NOW I could be perfectly happy like that.

The OEM HID on the trucks have reflectors, but they're made for HID. Looks similar, but the beam pattern is different.

Even though they're aimed down, it's not a perfect solution, especially in the rain where light is reflected off the ground.

My car came with HID reflectors and I thought that was good. Upgraded to projectors and the difference was staggering

I don't believe the Ram actually has HID as an option from the factory...

I have looked at both headlight types up close. Believe me, I did my research, over 6 months worth. Looking at Factory HID's in ram's at meets, etc. In the civic, it wasnt such a big deal because the car sat so low. In the truck, I do not want ANYONE to be hurt, or even killed as a result of my lights. Both lamps are identical in every way that I can see.

Yes, they do. From 2009 and up, 4300k is now an option on the highest ($48k+) models. Ford and chevy both offer it as well.

This sticker is on the door of my truck (and all Rams I have checked new on the dealer lot when I was being nosy. LOL)
