Any ideas on what are the best price/performance HID
style bulbs. Mainly ones that give off the bluish look, are
cool.

I had the eurolite "xenon fusion"; very bright white, maybe a liiiittle blue. I loved em but one low beam just blew, so i should be getting some "Plasmaglow" ones anyday now. I hope these are good. Oh, and the eurolites i got for $15, these new ones for $20 on Ebay. There's a CRAPLOAD of lights on ebay for real cheap!
Hope this helps

Sounds like were approaching plastic headlight meltdown potential with those bulbs, lol. My 4700's get hot enough that I can barely touch the headlight after they have been on a couple minutes.

What bulbs do your Hella's take? they might make them.
Awesome,
I only hang out in the off topic forum area myself, I think it's a little too ram oriented, but because of people like me I think it's that way LOL. But it's a great site with a bunch of good people there. From what I have seen, there is never the garbage you see here, I think it's because you have to register (just an e-mail, no $30). But yea man check it out
dodgetrucks.org
btw... I just did an article for the DTO magazine, took me a little bit of time but I think I did an alright job.

I bought some fairly cheap off of ebay about 8 months ago and they have worked great. I can't remember what brand they were but I have been really happy with them. I also replaced my corner and parking bulbs with this style bulb after I got clear corners. Got them off ebay as well.

Go to www.coolbulbs.com and look at the NOKYA bulbs, They claim that their ARCTIC PURPLE bulbs burn at 7000K, They also say that you cant run your brights for more than 15min otherwise meltdown will occur. Ive seen those bulbs in a celica before and man, them mo'fos be bright sheeeeit. I just ordered a pair for myself

Cool link,
Unfortunately the prices are WAY too high, and they don't make them to fit our fog lights.
Here's the list if anybody's interested.
"Copy & pasted from dakota-durango.com"
1997-2002 models use the 9007 bulb for the headlights.
1997-2000 models use the 893 series bulbs for the fog lights.
2001-2002 models use the 898, 894, or 891 bulbs for the fog lights.
1997-2002 models use the 194 bulb for the parking lights.
1997-2002 models use the 3157 bulb for the turn signal lights.
1997-2002 models use the 3157 bulb for reverse/backup lights

OK... i FINALLY got the plasmaglow bulbs in a couple days ago. They're pretty nice. Really, I can't tell much difference between these and the eurolites i had. They both look alot nicer than stock, and with pretty much the same whiteness with a LITTLE blue. If i put the two types side-by-side i MIGHT be able to tell a difference, but They're both really nice. I can try to get some pics if u want me to email them to you.

If you think that those nokyas are hid bulbs your dead wrong. If they dont have a ballast to hook up they are not hids and they advertised heat range is false. A halogen cannot get that hot nomatter what gas you put in it. 12V is not enough to do that. For cheap HIDS go to www.vvme.com . Ive done a few retro fits, and even without projectors they will make driving a whole new (brighter) time. To disable your DRLS just relay the headlights. I would suggest somewere in the 4300-6000 range, as the best driving light is aquired from this ACTUAL heat range. And it seems they over time break down the gas enough to lower the heat range 5-600k, as i found mine got brighter but less blue over time (not in a dak) As for the highbeams, dont worry about them. The lowbeam HID is way brighter than any other halogen highbeam out there. The dual beam kits seem to be troublesome and i would avoid them. Ill be installing a 6000k kit in my 92 dak, along with a set of fogs and driving lights one with 4300k bulbs and one with 3000k bulbs.

Just a heads up ... Unless the HID kits and the replacement bulbs have DOT/SAE approval/certification they are ILLEGAL for use on street driven vehicles. Some cops might ignore the lights when they seem them because they dont really care .... but blind a cop and piss him off .. then your screwed
