2013 ford raptor HID help

okay so i have a 2013 raptor with the 6.2L. i would like to swap out the factory lights with a hid kit. ive done tons of research and can not come to a solid answer. i have the blackhousings with the projector lenses. if possible i was trying to get some 55w 6000k's.

anyone do a succesful hid kit install? help please!!

Why 6000k?

4300k will be more pure white and more light output

i think 55watt wil melt the oem housings. not 100% sure on that though. as for the temp of the bulb 6000k is what we call a hyper white. its a brilliant white. the lower you go the more yellow in is it. go higher and it goes blue.

there are a few vendors that do retrofitting and do awesome work.
if you are jus looking for a bulb replacement, we sell morimoto hid kits.

im familiar with the kelvin color scale thanks, hmmm im still a little stumbled as to what kit would work. i saw someone did a complete projector lens swap and it worked. but im trying to get something to work with the oem housing.

Welcome & good luck! Call Dawson!

any 35watt kit should work as long as its the right bulb. but dont get the cheap kits.

Hey car stereo, my Jaguar has Xeon headlights and they're Purplish, the look really cool. My Raptor will be here in June, has the HID lights. Are they the same as the Xeon? And could I get bulbs that have that purplish hue?

that purple/blue is a higher temp. yes you can get them. what year is your jag?

I've had a 55-watt kit since the first month of owning my truck (over 2 years now). No issues, and INCREDIBLE light output! I have the 5000K, which is a GREAT choice, in my opinion. Nice, white light, no yellow tint. Never had bulb starting issues, always work great. Highly recommended kit.

This is the kit I bought, with lifetime warranty:

I believe "RAPTOR" in the promo code gives you 10% off, too.

(H13/9008 bi-xenon size, 55-watt, 5000K, no bulb cap)

Here they are in the alley behind my house (just the headlights, hood lights not on):



Here's the "cutoff" (if you want to call it that) against a wall, factory housing:

12,000K+ will start to go purple!

I had 14,000K in my WRX show-car, and it was VERY purple. Almost TOO purple to actually see with!
