    Hi, I have been reading a lot of the mods for the off road light conversions/mods to HID and they look really cool. There are a lot of manufacturers out there now making HID "all in one" units with concealed ballasts. I would really like to go for the look I had in my Tundra with the Black Magic lights behind the grill. The black reflectors made them almost invisible until turned on. Does anyone have any recommendations as to who makes the best HID off road lights? Any ideas on how to keep the look I had with the Tundra? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    What about the light pattern though? Would that change by converting to HID?
    Thanks,

    no, light pattern is determined by the reflector shape

    They are pretty scattered compared to how the factory beam projects the light.
