HID conversion

[97CREWCABPSD]

Has any one found any good quality HID converions for the 97 F350s that are reasonably priced.

What do you consider reasonably priced???

I havent' seen any that I'd consider decent quality for what I'm willing to pay. Having seen the difference on some trucks w/ diamond cut headlight cups & wiring kits I'm not too ready to jump to HID conversions. Once you upgrade the wiring you can cheat & get non DOT approved higher watt bulbs and you'll have all the blinding light you want.

And you wonder why most states don't issue carry permits.

I'm not advocating putting the higher watt bulbs in there but as a result of the wiring design of these trucks as they age the voltage drop before it gets to the bulbs can be rather significant. Currently all of the power runs through the dash switch by switching to a larger wire and having the current switch trigger relays it will allow you to get the intended voltage to your current light bulbs. This even in stock cups makes a dramatic difference on some trucks you need to actually check the voltage @ the plug for your truck if it's more than 0.5V lower than what's @ the batteries w/ the truck running then you'll see a notable benefit.

Another beneficial upgrade is a brite box so you get both filaments lit up when your bright lights are on.
