Search bro. See if you can still order them from DDM Tuning (google it). It will take the same bulb # that your truck would normally take if you put new halogens in.
DDM might not be selling them anymore, but still check em out. If they are, they carry a Raptor kit, and a slim ballast kit. Raptor is cheaper and work just fine. Also, you can choose between a low beam kit, or a hi/low kit... hi beams don't really matter when you have HIDS, and the hi/low function is pretty pointless except to flash people.

Headlights are 9007 and yes DDM still sells the PnP kits. If you do go with a kit from them dont go higher than 6000K and also dont get 55w..... 35w will have alot less glare to other drivers. However let me tell you as someone who had a pnp kit and then did HIDs the right way, yes I know its more expensive, but it is worth it.

I got a Xentech kit off ebay (for the price, I figured it was worth trying) for $35 shipped low beam only. I think they have telescoping hi-low kits for around $70 shipped. I'm very happy with it.
However, I'll say that it's a pet peeve of mine when people put HID bulbs in factory reflectors. No matter what anyone says, they always glare too much. Do it with projectors. There are plenty of projector options for not much money.

Yours all sucked because you kept getting high color temperatures. Especially if they were only 35W systems, high color temps have very poor output. 4000-6000K are your brightest, clearest color temps. 55W systems wash out the color more, and overcome it, but 35W ones are all color when you get up into the high numbers.
