Hay brotha no worries on starting a new thread that wat were here for!

What you're looking for a (HID) the ones you can buy from the parts store are just brighter halogen.. I purchased mine from ddmtuning.com your gonna need 9006 for the lows and 880 for the fogs... Now I don't recommend getting the 55watt ballast simply because you can melt the housing, Go with a 35watt. You don't need to get the slim ballast but they do make hiding them a little easier. Hope this helps brotha

You can get hid in the highs but the lows are bright enough that you really don't need them.. and if you get the fogs too you're never gonna use the highs. But if you do want the highs to be hid too then you need ... 9007... I think...same deal 35watt ballast and you will want the slim line ballast simply because its gonna be harder to tuck 2 sets of ballasts.

you don't have to. The Hids in the low beam are plenty bright and unless you can leave your high beams on for a while. It isn't good on the ballast to keep turning them on and off rapidly. The other thing you need to know is the fog lights. Is your truck cladded? If so, then the fogs are the 880, if it isn't then its another number and id have to look that up from home.
