HID taillights ???S please help

[Husker1111]

ok guys heres my deal i got the DDM 35w 6k hid setup for my lows the problem is they arent bright enough cuz i have 35% tint on the windsheild. So i was going to buy the 55w 6k setup for them but now i have an extra 35w ballast cuz the bulb that came with the 35w setup should work with the 55w setup (correct me if im wrong!!!). Where should i put it, i was thinking that when i buy the 55w setup ill just order the bulbs that fit in the tailights with it and just hook it up to the 35 w ballast instead and put the 55w ballast in the low beams. Help me out with my bulb size question and if the bulbs can be used on either ballast thanks!!

You want to H.I.D's in your taillights? Why?

i have an extra ballast now, why do you think i should put the system in the high beams then?

I have never seen HID's in taillights and am pretty sure its because they are not meant to be in the taillights... Think about it; HID's are used to project a better light pattern with better results to halogens for driving down the road. They are much brighter as well because they for headlights or fogs. The only way I would see putting HID's in the rear of your vehicle to be any good would be to use them as reverse fogs/ spots.

Just my opinion.

i mean if i had an aux swith to them too it would be pretty cool so if someone was riding my a$$ i could switch them on or just if i was doing stuff behind the truck. People put the led's in but they dont broadcast very far this is an alternative for brighter reverse lights

not to me a dick man but i wouldnt throw the switch when someones ridin my ass.. what if they were epileptic? That would be some bad ju-ju man that im sure u wouldnt want.. but think bout the use for a headlight bulb, they were made for constand use.. unless u drive in reverse 95% of the time id say hell ya..... if u wanted some aux back lights for like camping or somethin get u some fogs to throw back there... and ive never seen leds that didnt broadcast very far....

I am putting a set in my reverse lights but I have Limo tint and live in the country ( area) North of Houston. Well I will again in about a month. Why not order the 3K bulbs and put them in your fogs to be real fogs?

now i know im really soundin like a dick but have u done the 4 hi mod? i know alot of people dont do hid hi's for the simple reason of bulb life...... the constant on off on off really beats down ******* them as to wheres lows would be constant.... i would say save ur ballasts for backups in case u have any future problems down the road with the ones ur or runnin now
