They are 6000k. I have low beam and fogs, didn't have the money yet for the high beams. The lows are 55w and the fogs are 35w. Just a few pics I took. Let me tell you, these make a world of difference, especially with 35 on the shield. This is one of those things that I would always get done to future vehicles. Btw, vehicle is an '03 Exploder. (If your around Nashville, I know a guy that does this for dirt cheap compared to other places!)

My favorite pic:

This pic is looking out of the windshield. It doesn't look nearly as bright as it really is:

It's really simple after I watched him do it. Now that I saw how to do it I could. But basically in short it was really fucking hot outside, and there was no price difference if I installed them or if he installed them. Plus, I get lifetime warranty if something messes up because of the install vs. me doing it.

ya it was pretty hot today when i finished up my GF's install(middle tn).

so are these just supposed to be brighter, or do they display any further wide or in front of u? never really thought about messing with my lights but i know some people got some bright stuff, even in my truck blinding me

They are much brighter and they do go out wider than the stock headlights, at least on mine. What kind of truck do you have?

I do. I mean it's not a necessity, but I really like them, especially with my tinted windshield.

I would never drive a vehicle without them now. I my past two vehicles have had them and i will always have them in the future. The go farther wider and are alot brighter worth every penny. Super simple to install.

If I get what your saying, the 6000k lights are brighter than the 8000k, but the 8000k are bluer.

4300 is the brightest, iirc. Above that are bluer/purpler hues, but they have less light output.

How much brighter are the 4300k than the 6000k? I might do 4300k for my high beams.

4300 is a little more yellow.. there is a site that says how many lumens each heat degree is..
