What type of bulbs are they? Still don't understand why you didn't do H4's and housings

Only thing I have ordered so far is the Harness upgrade, I want to ad housings and HID bulbs. Im just not sure which ones to get. I usually get my HIDs from DDMTuning and can pick any bulb I want. I believe the harness is for H4 bulbs so I will be sticking with that size.

I don't know anything about HID bulbs so I can't say what housing would be best

I have a Putco harness and Rampage lights. It made a HUGE difference.

CHEAP projector housings don't work. They just look like the housings with a dumb round lens in the front.

Part # PEG-001.
Don't buy ballasts from there though.

HIDs are great, the only issue with using HIDs in that housing is that there isn't a cut off at the top of the HID so it doesn't blind others. It isn't DOT cert for HIDs granted that never really stopped us HIDers from doing it.
