Sort of. You can put HID's in a regular halogen housing but the projector style is what they are really intended for.

That pic shows the bulbs on the right and the ballast on the left that you will need to mount/zip tie/2 sided tape to the vehicle near the headlight. Its also a good idea to get a 12v power harness that has its own relay and fuse with wires that get run directly to the battery and it wires into the ballast so the truck still tells the lights to come on. Everything is plug and play aside from maybe needing to change the connections where you wire it to the battery.

HID's put out about twice the lumens as a halogen bulb of the same style/size. They run on less power while on, but need a little bit more to initially fire off.

wannabe, if your lows stay on with the high beams I would seriously do some research on adding HID's to the lows, it will be a night and day difference.

Do you know if these can be run as strobes. I want to put strobe lights in my running lights to thwart idiots from hitting me while I'm snow plowing, or at least let them know why they just got hit by a snow plow

LOL, no I dont think they would work as strobes. HID's need 3-5 seconds to fully heat up to produce its light. So im not sure how good they would work going on and off.

You can get some strobes from most parts store in the ricer section that are pretty bright though.

You could put HID's in the running lights to blind them (in they're in a halogen housing) and add the strobes for effect ! :D

My High beams are great and they are all ON. The lows are OK with the xenon bulbs- better than the factory halogen. I may eventually go HID, depends on how ambitious i get....

i have hid's on all 4..6k low beam and 8k high beams..you have to put the high beams on a seperate switch because coming off high to low beam your hids have to warm up as you know and they are not to bright at first..my low beams are always on at night and then all four when i hit the high's..i also changed the head lights to a what they call a diamont back ground and their is not a projector style..i can see for miles and miles lol..
