    I am interested in the brite box that Wheelers Offroad sells, so I can have my low beams, fog lamps, and high beams on at the same time when Offroad. I see two options that may or may not work for me:
    2012+ factory headlights kit
    Aftermarket headlights kit

    My headlight housings are from factory, but I have Hid bulbs in them. I contacted wheelers to ask advice but they were unsure as well.
    Which kit should I buy for my truck?
    Also, it is possible to use the brite box with my headlights at all?

    My hids switch from low to high beam by moving the bulb outward of sorts, (maybe not like normal headlights that use a second filament?) I read somewhere that the brite box won't work with this kind.
    I'd like to get a clearer understanding of this...

    Thanks - Sterling

    Boy. This got buried fast.

    Could be helpful if you told us the year of your truck.

    Also, do you object to auxiliary off road lighting for some reason?

    And have you read the threads on 'ultimate' lighting for headlights and fogs? That might be helpful to you as well.

    The fact that the HID bulb moves for Low/High tells me you can't use brite box. If it's in the position for low then it can't be in the high position as well.

    Truck is a 2012.

    I do have a 30" bar in my grill, but would like this for driving on a canyon highway that I travel about weekly, cops in my area don't exactly like light bars on the road.

    I have looked through that thread, but would rather do this if possible.

    I was mostly wondering if someone had tried this already, and if so, what the resolution was.

    Ok thank you. This is what I was thinking my roadblock was going to be.
