How terrible will they glare and blind the shit outta people in a stock housing?
Also, is there any problems with keeping auto headlights when you run hids?

I have 10,000K and the glare is fucking ridiculous with stock halogen housing. I get flashed a few times a night.

I haven't had a problem with the Auto Headlights and the HIDs since if my truck is in gear, they come on. I really do hate automatic headlights (DRLs) with HIDs cuz sometimes my passenger one doesn't come on and I can't tell during the day unless im behind someone.

I got mine from SimplyHIDkits.com. They are the generic chinese brand that are usually sold in numerous different packaging by different places.

I'm happy with my trs hids. They are nice zero problems since I have used them (about a month or two). I usually just bought ebay and they would last me about a year, or year and a half.

Yeah, I can get them at his cost for like $25 a set so I might try them out. Plus he said they offer him a year warranty on them and he has a bunch instock. Might just give it a shot. Question though, can you run the 55 watt bulbs with a 35 watt ballast or no?

nope, itll flicker

What company is everybody using now that v-leds is discontinuing their line? I've never tried DDM, but hear they're bad now, and I personally have spencer's and V-hids on my truck, just asking for my cousin who wants some.

This. My ballasts work fine but I want to move down to 6000k. 10000k is ridiculous for all the country roads I drive at night.

Anyone know a good and decent priced kit? Seems like everyone I have used before has gone down hill or not selling them anymore. Im tired of messing with these cheap ass ebay kits.
