    I am looking for a bright driving setup. I know nothing about what I need to upgrade properly to HID. Any advice would be appreciated

    Proper hid upgrade is by retrofitting hid projectors into your housings. Adding just hid bulbs and ballasts is a no no. Too much glare for oncoming traffic and lots of unusable light

    -TRS Mini D2S Retrofit on TRD Pro Headlights (Apollo 2.0 Shrouds, 35w XB Ballasts, 5500k Bulbs) -Baja Designs Squadron R Sport Aux lights. -TRD Pro Grill -TRD Rear Sway Bar -BakFlip VP Tonneau w/BakBox -Dipped wheels & bumpers -Iron Cross HD steps -Undercover Swingcase -SunTek Paint Protection film -Tinted glass -Bedmat -OEM Towing Mirrors
    Thanks @831Tun !

    I agree with @Pudge

    If a retrofit is too much work, @Baja Designs should be coming out with an SAE/DOT approved fog light within the next few months. A great set of fogs may do the trick.
