    Anyone install one on their truck?
    I have T660 so low beams have projector housings. Stock H11 light bulbs are just not lighting up the road well enough.

    I seen them many times and have had hids on my cars. Go for it. Here in California they don't give you a hassle I'd go for 5k or 6k for brightness and color

    I think Kentucky is the problem state. I haven't gone out of state in so long so they might have changed laws. But i see newer cascadias qith the hid kit from factory so i believe you can get away with it if its a shade of light blue

    If aimed right it won't blind anyone

    Like I always state I've had them for a long time. I run 6ks but that depends on the kit company

    I am assuming you have a projector in your 660 low beam so a hid kit will not blind people and as far as the d.o.t go, The 660 can come with factory hid as a option.

    I have hids on my truck. I prefer the 5,000k bulb its more white and not so blue. I have projector low beams and a regular lens for high beam. They work great.
