well since you have a sealed headlight you would prob need a sealed headlight that is HID. im not to familar with the lights on the 94-97 but the might make one for you truck. 98+ they have all kinds of plug and play hids bc there not sealed.

this might need to be moved to the lighting section to get better answers

You need to buy H4 conversion housings and you need to buy H4 HID's. I can post a ebay link tonight to my headlight housings as they are better quality then one set I owned.

This is where I bought my HID's

Some pics of my setup.

Headlight housing is a 4x6 H4 conversion housing.

These are my housings, they were either $30 of $40 shipped on ebay.

My HID's are 6,000K, H4-3 as they have high and low beams. The highs are simulated with an electric motor.

Here's the headlights I have:

They convert the H4-ish style headlight plug to a 9007 bulb and come with the harness to do it.

Will be putting in a set of 9007 HID's from them as well this week. The crystal headlights alone are a huge upgrade.

Will post when done.
