Output will most likely be awful, the housing for led bulbs are designed specifically for them to project well. Why are you fed up with hids, using a quality set? Do you have a retrofit and not just have them in the stock light housing?

I have purchased HIDs from over 10 different companies spending from $20 a kit to $180 a kit. They ALL have issues sooner or later. I just thought that this may be an nice alternative route. My wholesale company is going to give me a set to test out, I will keep you posted.

To get the best out of an HID you need a retrofit... Should order HIDs from spencershids i think his upper kit has lifetime warranty.

Yes I am, I have used a single in relay harness as well as the DDM style that plugs into both sides of the vehicle.
I have LEDs through out my truck already as well as a cree projector style in my reverse light & its ridiculous at night.

By retrofit, you mean.....
Yes thats what I meant is to retrofit a HID projector into the housing and if I'm not mistaken the 2014 housings are a halogen projector. I'm unsure of all the differences but I'm sure if you ask some of your questions if you have some about the projectors in the Official Retrofit thread someone will answer them.

First response is right. THe light output is horrid. You wont want to drive those at night. Some people are retrofitting Recons cubes in - but I dont think thats legal.
