Bright headlights

[trever]

I have 10000k and it turns everything BLUE ....i wish i went back to my 8000k and the range of 10000 is sh1tty i think about 15 feet is the most with highs

Brightest will be HID's. If your super impatient and cant wait 3 seconds perhaps you shouldnt be driving.

Did you happen to read the original post? I don't want HID's as high beams. I want to be able to flick my high beams as well.

I did read it. You can flick HID's and they are the brightest you will get. /thread

But, to my knowledge, flicking HID's make them not last nearly as long.

I just thought it was very bad for HID's, considering it takes them so long to heat up.

You arent going to find a magical bulb that plugs in to the stock harness for increased brightness.....

with a proper HID setup, you shouldnt really need highs though. I have HID's for lows/fogs, and i've never even though about throwing the highs on.

I have 35% on the wind shield and my vehicle sits low.

35% windshield? any reason why? Sounds like overkill, even for somebody who has eye problems.

And i thought you drive an f150?

But like i said, you wont get any increased output (At least any readily noticeable output) by just replacing the bulbs. You may want to try to get projector headlamps, which should result in less scattered light and increased road visibility.

...or just take the windshield tint off.

I have a 5% strip on my windshield, not the whole windshield tinted though lol. My strip only goes down 6-8" from the top, just really nice for the sun in the mornings

I'm not taking my tint off, I love it. No reason to bash what I like just because it's not what you like. I'm not an idiot, I know exactly what I'm doing when I do things.

I drive a '03 Explorer. I'm just trying to learn some things about HIDs and headlights. Here's a pic of my HIDs:

Huh? Yes, yes you do.

People who drive around with just hids in halogen housing are just plain dicks
