I ordered 9006 8000k from partssource last week when I did the 4hi mod. What the hell, they were only $100CAD.

:party33: What a difference!

I also put in new 9005 GE Nighthawks($16EA). Those are nice too!
I dumped out those Princess Auto bulbs into the trash where they belong.
The new HIDs come with a relay, so the only componant that I reused from DJTricky's mod was the diode.

BTW, I found a better source for diodes than "thesource". Every computer ATX power supply has four really really big diodes in it. Find a junker (at your local computer shop!)(they should give away the broken ones for free just to get rid of them, we do!) and VIOLA!

Frakking nice stuff!

ya, kicking myself in the ass for not doing this earlier.

Actually it was reading this forum that got me thinking about doing it, and the pics that the other guys were posting made me think, 'wtf, I've spent more money doing stupider things!', and now that I have them, I really like them... Now i'm looking into replacing the front headlight lens, corner lamps, and turn signals. I can't decide clear white crystal or smoked/blacked out. Also, I'm having a bear of a time getting a source on legal corner lamps. For Canada/Ontario they have to retain the orange reflective strip...

Hey, thanks for the ebay link! I'm gonna check that out. I thought that I had found all the amber strip manufactuers and here is another one.


I thought about clear for awhile, but there are lots of clear in town... and on a black truck, the black might not look to bad, and I'd be the only truck running aroud in black..

These are manufacturered by Spyder.
I'm kinda leaning to black, and i'm trying to find a Canadian supplier right now. Shipping from Ebay to Canada costs more than the parts...sigh... I have the Partssource guy looking for me...hehe... Crossing my fingers...

Click to expand...

Hehe... sigh.... I know, sometimes it sucks in Canada. Naw... it rocks!!! :)(Except for shipping charges from US!!!)


How do you change the color of the 12 leds when they are mounted in the housing like that? Can you paint over them? Doesn't the amber show though?


Oooohhhhh!!! I found a better set of smoked/black headlights that I really like!

never trust those led parking lamps. a high percentage of those malfunction. if you plan on black housing everything, just go for plain black housing parking lamps

Really? That sucks. I wonder why? you'd think that leds are more durable than the bulb filiments?

Damn I was looking forward to the leds... I'll go back to ebay and look for black bulb housings then...
