heres my Q: i have a 35w 6k kit from hidnation with 9005 bulbs that i had in my denali lights. well i have a silverado now, which takes 9006. from what i understand they are the same bulb, but the 9006 just has a little cap on top for glare/reflection reasons in the halogen housing, like so
SOOO.. to run some hids in the rado, could i just buy new bulbs from xxx company and plug them into the HIDnation harness to work..orr am i better off buying a whole new kit from say VVME?

get new bulbs and you will be set. Or if you wanna see if the 9005 will go in the 9006 and stay snug, theres no glare cap on any HID bulbs its just a matter of will the tabs on the base of the 9005 fit into the hole of the 9006 and stay snug. Give it a try, I ran 9005 bulbs in my 9006 low beams for a bit
ooh alrighty. well i only have the 9006's now. so i guess i will just try throwing them in one day and see how that goes. if you ran the same thing no problem i oughta be golden
yeah it was fine except they werent as snug as 9006's in the low beam spot but they stayed in good enough lol
Maybe I'll try holding them snug with tape. Really :token: rig it loll

Tuesday I'll check out how much just bulbs are. From VVME or some other company that's inexpensive and good

I could get a whole new kit for $40ish :crossarms: ya i know trs is the best.. But they'd be powered by 1yr old Hidnation ballasts anyway, which idk if they're good or bad

if your running stock halogen lows, then any hid would help greatly. 35w 5000k has the most light output, followed by 6000k which has a slight blue tint to it, yet still good output imo. anything lower/beyond them and just for look purposes :imo:
Oh ya :crazy:truth. I may or may not have had a bunch of whisky

VVME makes some quality stuff, ran a kit in my truck and then a kit in my coyote and never had an issue.
Here's a color chart for HIDs, just pick which ever you like best. 3000 is yellow for like rally fogs, 4300k/5000k are very similar and give the most light, 6000k is still very bright but has a hint of blue (what I run now), 8000k is much more blue but still bright (what I ran in the truck), 10000 is cobalt blue, 12000k is purple. Can't see shit with 10 or 12, they're for looks.
Here's the link to their HIDs, just find your bulb number, choose your color temp you want, and spend the extra couple bucks for the digital slim ballast, they're better/more reliable/smaller/last longer than the old big box ones.
