    So I knew a buddy who had cracked a headlight and was going to get rid of it, so i took it, and long story short I tried the BHLM and kind of failed. the reason being is my apartment just doesn't have the right space/tools/area to do it correctly.

    So what i want to know is who can i go to, to get the BHLM done... I live in northern Arizona, so something close would be nice.

    If not someone local who knows how to, who can i contact about getting a set of BHLM lights, and then sending them my own? something along those lines? because i can't be without headlights

    There isn't a place that I know of that you buy 2013 with BHLM. A lot of members here have done it, even with some of the 12'-13' models. You could a do search and see if you'd want to attempt it again.
    HID's run cooler than stock bulbs. The only thing is that with painting the reflectors within the light housing will not put the light out like it should without paint on the reflector. If you're putting in HID in a regular housing, the reflectors shoot the light everywhere. A lot of people are not to keen on putting HID kits into stock light housings. They can become dangerous to other drivers etc. Just because it's HID doesn't mean that you're going to get better light compared to a stock lighten system or a retro fit. Do a retro fit or get aftermarket bulbs(none HID). If you search the board you will find other brands that people have used.

    took me maybe... about a day to take out of truck, put in over, take apart, paint, let paint dry, put together, reseal in oven, and put back in the truck. Seal lasted about a year before it started leaking

    Get some 10,000k HID's and tell me if it's better? Or someone coming from the opposite direction crashing into you because they can't see. Or them following you and punching you in the face for making them almost crash because "you think" HID"s are better than stock.

    Here we go... another person who has to input their opinion where its not wanted... who thinks their bitching and complaining is going to get anywhere... well sir, I've already gotten into this argument with a cop, and all it came to was understanding that there are more people in the world who have nothing better to do than stick their nose in places it shouldn't be.

    Now-a-days, the halogens, and LED lights in stock vehicles are just as bad, especially the "automatic brights" system. A friends Jeep has worse halogens then mine. So go give your opinion to someone who cares... like no one.

    Also if they want to follow me, they'll get a nice introduction to my glock 30. so go ahead and follow the next person you see with HID's and see how you fend.
