You all do realize that HIDs are not designed for reflector housings, they need to be used in porjector housings and I HATE everyone with a passion who does this. Just because you can see better doesn't mean the guy driving towards you can see a darn thing, and bam he runs into you.
In most states if you both live and he can prove you are running ILLEGAL headlights you are in a lot of crap. The only HIDs that are DOT legal are the ones installed by the manufactuer at the factory all others are illegal, not matter what the guy tells you when you are buying them from him.

If you need to see better when you are on a road all by yourself, get some darn driving lights, the HIDs are a bad choice if not properly equipted for them.

I'm that guy :-/ However, in my defense most of the people up here aren't familiar with turning their brights off for fellow drivers anyways. C'est la vie I suppose.

For the 6000Ks in our KK I sticky taped the headlight and fog ballests together then tie wrapped then to the metal wheel well below the light assembly. I did this on both sides.

Id recommend getting your hids from HIDGATE (search his store on ebay) 56 US pair, shipped..... They are great and have not had an issue since I got them =) You can get standard size ballast and you can double tape them / zip tie them behind the headlamp assy.... if you have any more questions please throw me a pm

Each forum that I have been on has the two kind of people: the ones that say that HIDs kill puppies, cause AIDS and eventually help the ice caps to melt and the ones that have them because stock lights suck im one of the latter... but I do recommend not going over 6000k (causes less glare) and using the exact replacement bulb on your kk (bixenon is an overkill, you should be fine with xenon/halogen mix) just my .02 cents I guess

well i use my highs quite often and i will never be able to attach aftermarket driving lights, so i'd radther do the bixenon... i also plan on getting the slim ballasts... and as per the HID blinding people... here in NY everyone has them, you just become accustomed not looking haha... oh and i am actually using that guy, i have his personal website. so the Bixenon kit with slim ballasts is only 150... in the long run i owuld save money if i were to get the regular kit and aftermarket lights

Yeah I personally suffer from the "deer caught in head light syndrome", but it's just something I've come to deal with. I do like the increased visibility though, especially on those back roads in the middle of BF south dakota. 6000k = ideal.
