After doing drl killer for hids...

[Voymom]

I have 10000k for the highs w/ the 35w. And 6000k for lows 35w. And yea cleared over the original lens and long story short f***ed up one lens. Bought reg.'s extra set from him. So I am planning on just totally blacking out the other pair just for shits and giggles.

How are the lights at night? Are they bright enough? I heard the more Kelvins the less effective, so I wasn't sure? I'm thinking of doing the 10000k but wasn't sure about light output as everything here is dark as hell at night being in the middle of nowhere lol And yes I to learned the hard way about clear coating the heads with the VHT...it turned the VHT blue and gunky. Tried wet sanding afterwards and that was 10x worse lol so we cleaned them off and redid the VHT and skipped putting a clear coat on them. I'm thinking of playing with some plexi glass and making head light covers that are the same shape as the circles and open on the amber...maybe closed on the amber but haven't asked hubby about it yet as far as if it will even be something that would work.

I was half tempted to just spray paint the bitches

these are the lows. 6000k. The camera on the phone made em look really blue. They really aren't that blue. I can get a pic of the highs tonight.

Yeah we have the 6000k for the low beams too. I need to "match" my highs though lol I'm going with a 3000k fog but I don't know if I want to do an HID kit for them yet or not. I'm still debating on doing the HID for the highs.

 

[jrSS]

I believe the 3000k's are bright yellow.

I am gonna go with leds for fogs. They look bright as hell.

Yeah the 3000k is the amber or bright yellow. I wanted to do the LED's for fogs but getting the yellow I want I think would be hard. Hubby thinks the LED's would be way to bright to actually have function in heavy fog as we get fog here a lot to where schools get 2-3hr delay's. But then again even the OEM fog lights suck donkey danglies in heavy fog lol Who cares if it works, I just want it to look good

Seriously? Did you really just say that?

You guys do realize that LED's fogs are a fail on light output. If you want them for looks and can deal with just lows for light output then go for it. If you want light then HID's or stick to the OEM's lol LED's are short distance and do not give off a lot of light for long distance front of the truck. Yeah the 6k are not that blue, my camera has done that before a good amount of times pictures do lights no justice at all!

Spoiler

Here are my lights and this is a pretty good picture of it showing the color, I have 6k DDMtuning kit

Also VoyMom yes the higher you go on the lights the more light you loose. The best on light output on low beams are 4300k (cannot do 3000k because cops can hit you for too yellow and bright of headlights, 3000k are pretty much illegal for lows, can only be for fogs) or you can do 5k for bright white with almost no blue what so ever. Also I recommend you put some clear coat on the headlights because with that it wont protect the VHT and that stuff will fade away and wont look good. Not sure why your clear did what it did, but try another brand and spray them on in light coats because it shouldn't do that. Also when wet sanding that does help in smoothness quite a bit also

Yes I know leds do not produce any "useful" light. They look good tho. My hid lows are bright enuf for me to get around with.

If you like it go for it then!! Get a pair of those led halos projectors and put some LED's in there

Yeah I have the 6k for my lows, as far as light output on the fogs...It will be a trial and error on what I like honestly....but I am going for the 3000k yellow color for my fogs. I'm not to worried about my VHT fading, like I said before it was so easy I wouldn't mind just redoing them once they did fade, but hubby and I will be coming up with a way to make headlight covers for them. We used 4 types of very expensive clear coat and all of them turned my VHT blue and caked off when trying to wet sand, and that was with a 24hr cure/drying time too.....So I give up

But then again it could have been the beer lol The more beer I drink the less patience I have

Oh man I see your problem now!!! Try clear coat without beer this time and maybe they will be clear and not blue lol JK! But yeah 3k will give you a ton of light for sure...its all on looks from there. Do you want piss yellow or do you want to step it up to white with the 6k lows.

I already put pics of my HID low beams on the "What did you do to your GMT today" Thread.

As far as mods go we are slowing down a bit until hubby picks up his weekend shift again or until I can start bringing in some money one way or another.
