Default Silverado HID Install

Hi all! I just got my HID's in the mail yesterday and installed them on my truck this morning. I am real excited to see what they look like at night. Anyone ever put a pair of HID's on their silverado? The install was pretty simple. For 155 bucks, everything was pretty simple actually. I would definitely recommend getting HID's! I will upload some pics when I get the chance! Any commands would be appreciated!

I have xenon HID's in my 2007 silverado in the high/low/and fogs(in the fogs are a set of HID High beam because the casing grooves and the wire harness fits...so i said why the hell not)

I also did the fuse box diode thing to wear my fogs can be turned on and off as normal with my low beams, but when i hit the high beams my high/low/and fogs come on!! So as swoosh1977 said, when i have my low beams on people flash their lights at me and then when i hit the high beam they get to see "The Shocker" as ive nick named my high/low/and fog combo seeing how i would have 2 sets of high beams going with a set of low beams haha!!

The HID's are by far are on my top list of upgrades!!

Also, yall are talking about the real HID's right? The ones with the ballist... not just the bulb right??

I would post some pictures of the light and my truck but im experiencing some problems trying to post links to my photobucket pictures... it give me "FORBIDDEN You dont have permission to access /postpro.asp on this server"... any help??

on behalf of all drivers on the road that are being continuously blinded by HID headlights, to the verge of crashing into something, thank you for being so much inconsiderate of other drivers. if you think that "people flashing at you" is fun, just for a moment, think WHY they are flashing. because they can't see squat for the next 10-15 seconds, as trucks are so high that those lights cut straight into retinas and optic nerve. of course, who cares, i am a free man in a free country and do whatever i want to, don't i? and if you don't like it, then **** off, right? oh, just wait untill the time of reckoning will come.....
