). use relays also. I use 8000k and 8500k in my other vehicles, I think 10000k is just for show as the higher you go up the spectrum, the less use u have for them when there is inclement weather. just my two cents. 
DonaldBrown: by the way, to make things simpler, try looking for wiring kits that off-roaders use to accomodate 100w/90w bulbs wth the stock 60w/55w wiring, its a simple bolt on and already has the relays needed, that will make installation of your HIDs a lot simpler, we used that in my dad's car and worked well.
yes, that is precisely the one, basically you can tap the existing wiring to install your HIDs, the problems is when a voltage drop occurs, your HIDs may tun off or blink and that is trouble because that is the number one cause of ballast and igniter problems, you need the relay in order to make sure that constant current is delivered to the ballast. They also serve as some sort of protectors to the ballast.
DonaldBrown: no, normally HID kits do not come with relays, in the instuctions that they ususally come with, they specify that the HID kit can be installed plug and play, so no other requirements needed aside from the ons included in the kit, but to be sure, you should get power directly rom the battery, run it through the relay to get consistent power. by the way, what ballast did you get? did you get the 35watt or the 42 watt ballast? we even have higher ballasts, 55 watts I think, here in the Philippines, higher output, but the chance of short circuits that can damage your truck's headlight wiring assembly is significantly higher when a loose connection occurs, I suggest you stick with the 35 watt ballasts, they are more forgiving to loose connections. good luck.
also, I agree with celly, just adjust the lens on your headlight to make sure you do not blind oncoming traffic when the headlights are in dim.
DonaldBrowm: yes that is the one I am referring to, it makes life a lot easier.and yes, you got the 35watt ballasr alright, thats a good choice.
I ordered the relay kit today hopefully it will be in by next week. I am going to start getting anxious with these headlights just sitting here. I will probably have some more dumb questions when it comes time to put everything on. Hope everything goes well in your install.DonaldBrown: its my pleasure. by the way, did you order HIDs for the fog lights too? It came as a surprise for me when I put HIDs on my fog lghts, I thought at first that they would be a waste of money, the fog lamps being so small and all, but I swear, they made a ton of difference, night driving and inclement weather driving has been so easy ever since. just a thought
the kit came in today now just waiting on the harness to come in! I am debating on ordering another set of bulbs for back up and also a different color.
thanks guys just installed them and with the relay wiring harness it made things very easy!!! I am going to order another set in either 5000k or 6000k to keep as back up and to change in case I do not like how the 10000ks look at night. I cannot wait til midnight(when I get off work) tonight so I can ride around and see how they look!
