my advie is if you want the hid's, go for it! Ive had a set in the truck since last year and have never had anyone complain to me that they were blinding or scattered. Sometimes with stock reflectors you get lucky and the HID bulb will reflect right.The oem conversion is alot of effort and money for something thats really not going to be doing much. A $200 set of hids will give the same lighting and keep some cash in the pocket for more mods
as far as the high beams for this set i am using the set of piaa driving lights whih are the small ones in the corner closest to the grill. With the HID's ive never really had the use for "high beams" but i really will be using it more for flash to pass
