I have the same kit and I am very pleased with it. Nicely put together kit! Good bulbs, Hella ballasts and good wiring and connections. None of that external igniter crap. All housed in a german ballast. Light output is awesome even with my stock headlights. It is of no comparison to a regular halogen bulb. I got the 5200K for white light. When you look at the truck from a distance it looks blue anyways. I dont give 2 craps if it isnt legal to use the kit. Im assuming the headlights you have are projectors. If thats the case you want to make sure the longer HID capsule will fit behind the projector. If not you may need to use the stock headlight housings. Lot of people get the Xenarc kit. But I dont buy into that "special" housing deal. I know their housings have a diffuser and stock Rado lights dont.

do misterjungs bulbs fit in stock housings??? cuz i have the angel eyes halos housing, and it is the same as the stock housing! my main point in buying the HID is for better light output! stock is really, really bad!!! thanks for the info, i really appreciate it!

No prob man Yes the Jungs bulbs fit in the stock housings. Might need to re-aim though.

My Escalade came with HID low beams, I added HID high beams and HID fogs, if you drive a lot at night this setup can not be beat

I just installed the Jung kit in my 2003 Denali and it is awsome. It is a night and day difference and looks great, especially since the Denali's have projector style lamps which are the correct way to incorporate real HID's because of the glare issue with reflector style HID upgrades. This is the second HID kit I have bought for my vehicles and the result is incredible. DON'T buy anything from www.misterjung.com . This guy is a cheat and a liar, he does not stand behind his products as promised and ignors all e-mails sent to him. I bought a new full conversion 4100k kit from Xenonfactory after hearing nothing but good things about their products, prices, and warranty. DON'T send your money to misterjung.com, you would be better off flusing your four hundred dollars down the toilet

is the kit simply plug and play??? is there any wires u need to splice into or anything like that?

I would check out the misterjung website...I believe there are some instructions there. It is my understanding that they are pretty much plug and play. Just find a place to mount the ballasts (on your Sub they will probably fit on the rad support behind the headlights/turn lamps. Then its just to plug in the harnesses and you are set.

 

If you need more help then just email or PM 99silver5.3. He may have missed your question here.

Also, it can't be beaten. ;)

 

Carl's post doesn't really tell the whole story. There IS NO MORE NIGHT when driving in Carl's Caddy! With all the HID lighting on his rig (including his backup lights!), this thing lights up the night like an Operation Freedom bombing raid. It's amazing.

 

But, I'm not sure that you can simply add all this lighting to other (non-Caddy) vehicles... Can you? I know that the caddy comes with HID's, so I imagine it's "set up" to handle them -- I just don't know if, say, my Tahoe is.

 

Any ideas, Carl?

Hello Kirk, married yet? Just checking The Caddy only comes with HID low beams, I added the high beams and fogs. You can do that to your Tahoe without any problem....., other than the cost. You may want to try Sylvania Silverstar replacement bulbs first, not near HID but better than stock
