nice bro. you are a wealth of information. that was way better than reading 11 pages

 

can someone just tell me straight up if i can put HIDs in my stock full faced head lights? heh

 

Find the seller on ebay w h4 conversion lighting kits for our model trucks. Buy, install, uprade wiring harness for more light (optional, but recommended).

edit: tubbs beat me

 

Sorry for the bump, but are the DOT-approved ones completely crap compared to the E-codes? Currently I have the stock lights.

 

Why would you want to convert to H4's? There isn't anything wrong with our 9004's. In fact, they have to convert from sealed beam to H4 just to change to a brighter bulb or HID. Where as we can already do that without any converting.

 

Yes you can. Any HID kit with 9004 bulbs will work. I suggest buying a decent kit off of ebay with a slim ballast, as our Runners have very limited space to fit ballasts in.

 

from what I hear, no. E-code lamps focus all the light below a cutoff line so they do a slightly better job illuminating the road for a given wattage of bulb (DOT lets a little bit leak above to the sides to help illuminate road signs) but either sealed beam replacement lamp is gonna be way better than pretty much any sealed beam design out there (probably because the housing isn't made to be cheap and disposable).

 

you can, but your going to blind the crap out of on coming traffic.
damn, did realize that posting was 2 months old.

 

hid conversion H4

 

random much?

 

just a for some info:

here is the link for the DOT approved version

 

Big thread bump but I was just going to get some Sylvania silverstars... around $55 with tax. But THANK GOD I found this thread! Ordering these tomorrow.

 

Oh please don't. You'll get better output with a proper rewire and halogens in quality H4 housings.

If you do HID, do it properly with true HID projectors. HID in halogen housings = crap.

 

Just ordered them also! Will post before and afters.

 

Fail.

 

Good news... mine will be here Monday! Ill put pics up by Tuesday hopefully.

 

Got mine today. Ill see if I can squeeze some time in to put them in.

 

Got mine in! Do anyone elses move in the casing a little bit?

 

you mean the bulb in the housing? no, it should be fairly tightly clipped in. check to make sure the bulb itself is in good condition. one of my bulbs wasn't fully attached to the "ring" (the part that clips in, with the 3 tabs)

 

I'm talking about putting the new hw housing into the "adjustment housing"(don't know what its called). And then you put the chrome trim piece over the new housing. Mine probably have about an 1/8th of an inch of play. Nothing a little ductape can't fix.
