lol yeah. it's all good. the fog light ballasts are good but I need to mount the low beam ballasts a little better.
 
dey're akshollee wyte. (surprisingly). I may get 6000k bulbs though because the fogs are a little blue, not bad at all.

Oh, and you should 'yolo' and buy a lift.
 
couldn't get a good picture but here's a better idea of the color output

Notice the slightly bluer fogs, although they hadn't fully warmed up. My brother has this same set on his Duramax and they got whiter after about a week so I'm not too worried right now.

(closer to the lows)


On another note, the truck started squealing again tonight, think it's the a/c belt tensioner now. I'm going to replace that tomorrow or the next day and hope it sounds better.
 
wut why? bro has had no problems and had them on for over 2 months

NNBS's housings get fried really bad by HIDs apparently. My buddy has one and the backside/mounting hole was MELTED not to mention the chrome reflector was all fogged. NBS's don't have that problem. Had the same set of HIDs in mine for 2 years, never took them out with no issues. Dipped one side down in some water and finally killed a bulb, when I put the new set in, the housing was just fine.

Btw, I had 8000ks in mine and they weren't overly blue either
