Which is why the service manual says to remove them.
But it's still a pain anyway.

 

it does say remove the battery and battery tray?what manual does it say that in and on what page?just wondering cause my haynes manual didnt say much or at least I couldnt find it lol.

 

there are a lot of good looking girls around here.. i think i'm going to go with 6000k

LOL

 

i've changed bulbs a couple of times w/o removing the battery. you just have to twist your arm around under the battery. i probably stood on a little 2 step ladder that i keep out in the shop and use a lot.

 

nice I put 6000k in my fathers truck because he cant see well at night ..I get flashed by other high beams once a great while and I even have the correct housings for HID lights... some people just do it because the color I think...
I just got my hids installed tonight...they are AWESOME! the colors of what they shine on arent washed out at all green grass is still very green and the light output is amazing and very focused because of the projectors so they arent really blinding at all unless someone is right in that sweet spot...
sorry to wonder off topic..

 

Are that awful junk looking blue color? I see this guy that drives around in a 2007 explorer/navigator and his lights are literally pure blue. 1. that should not be legal and 2. I don't know how anyone thinks any light other than a nice clear white light helps them see any better. I'm completely satisfied with 4500K. Nice crisp white light, and no retina burning blue. God, if I had blue lights I would feel absolutely terrible making people put up with that sh*t.

 

i would say if you are getting flashed you may have some badly aimed headlight. i know i see lots of them when i am driving to work at 5am. i also see lots of HID kits in projector housings that are aimed correctly and don't blind me or any of the other drivers out there and then you see the complete @$$holes that install HID in normal housings and the light is blinding everyone. i know there is a couple of @$$hole tow truck drivers with them installed.
this might help you understand the lighting and what the 4500k and 6000k mean. anything over 6000k is more for just showing off. 4500k-6000k is about the best to get.

 

I completly agree with this. and normally say the same thing but I have found some people just flash people who have the blue lights just because they find themselves attracted to look at something different and then get blinded by looking directly at them..
..thats why I went with 6,000k for my dads truck...the problem is 6,000 k headlights are as blue as 12,000 k metal halides for my salt water reef tank... go figure...
I am very pleased with the 4,300k ones I just bought ...for 28.00 shipped with ballasts and installed in under 30 minutes It was well worth it...at least 3 times brighter than the 55w H1 bulbs they replaced and they were fairly new bulbs... these only use 35watts to boot. and they are very oem HID white... the chart doesnt represent the false colors of the hids... 4300k hids is what would be considered 6500k (sunlight) white in real world kelvin color.
thats cheaper than the silverstars were at advance auto...

 

They say a yellow-ish light provides the best human night vision, so 4300K ought to be just about perfect.

It's kind of hard to judge light color ... your brain immediately goes about to correct your perception of it to a neutral one, and then the color cast is all relative to what your lights are. So if you have blue HIDs everyone's halogens will look yellow to you but white to them, if you have halogens everyone's HIDs will look blue to you but white to them.

 

I don't care what anyone states, SSUH is what I buy for all my rigs, and i it's what I prefer over anything aftermarket. It plugs right in and uses the same output watts as OEM. They simply kick *** where I live and I get brighted a lot, poor people as I hit them with my brights and the lows when I pull the lever back.....LMFAO!
