yeah idk if you would be able to get some that would work in your taillight housings. I used some H13's that fit in pretty good. The NNBS trucks have a housing that mounts the bulb the same way the headlight bulbs mount in the headlight housings. if that makes any sense??

There's a ton of room behind the tail lights, my guess would be he mounted the ballast on the vertical support for the tail gate latch.

Ive never heard of putting HIDs in the reverse lights. My tailights are tinted pretty dark, I wonder if HIDs would show more light than normal bulbs.
i have 8ks and they are whiteish.
