Yep, I saw one F-150 locally w/ 12,000K and it looked really look and decided to get some. It looks really good coming down the road too, looks like an exotic or expenice euopean car.

I'm not sure if its because the pictures are so close but that sure doesn't look like 12,000K.

I'm hoping you guys do know that once you go past 4300K you're actually loosing llumens, right?

It probably is because I'm too close to it, but it was as far back as I could get at the time. As far as the lumens... I know they go down, I have just always liked the Audi color. They are a TON brighter than regular headlights so I'm not worred about it at all... I feel bad for the people in front of me haha!

Yeah, that's really funny..... I hope you have your lights correctly aimed since your front end is raised up/leveled, ESPECIALLY with hid's. Otherwise you are just being an ignorant jackass driving around like that.

LOL No kidding, a little off topic but why not! When you aim your headlights, it's the same directions for a lifted truck right?

Yeah, as long as they hit the wall at the same height at the same distance as stock then you should be aight. Good to hear you got em aimed nclxnotch.... I just hate ppl that don't and then complain about ppl high beamin em all the time and don't know why. I just replaced mine with some 4300K last night. I had one burn out on me due to the balast getting weak and causing the bulb to flicker til it burned out (new bulb flickered too) so I went with 4300K instead of the 6000K I had in there and they are really white. I haven't had a chance to drive with em at night, but they are only a SLIGHT shade bluer/whiter than my stock silverstars whereas the 6000k were a lot bluer. Here is a pic of the old bulbs for comparison.... the silverstars are actually a lot whiter than the first pic shows, they look more like the 2nd, and the fogs were bluer.




And here's a pic of the current setup with the 4300K's
