Firstly, has anyone dealt with these HID Canada? I've got an itchy trigger finger for this set at the moment:

I plan to get them installed my a licensed mechanic who knows HID lighting and has given me his word that he will try his best to aim them correctly so I don't blind oncoming traffic. /flamesuit on

Also, what is the best bulb colour to go with? I'm thinking 5000k. I've got a set of 3000k bulbs (non-HID) in the foglights already.

It's going on this truck:







Cheers,
Dave

5000K will give you the most usable light.

btw, nice truck. Crank those bars up to level it out some.
Your stang looks like mine, except mines red w/black stripes.

5000k would be best. I dont care how much the mechanic tries to aim them though they will still produce a lot of glare. You cant avoid it with HID unless you get a real projector housing. And very nice truck.

Thanks guys.

I've done a lot more reading since I've made this post and got blinded by a lifted F-150 with obnoxious HIDs last night so I've decided to just go with a set of PIAA bulb replacements.

Cheers,
Dave
