ok my truck is in the shop from my wreck and i just went ahead and ordered these http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mytig...ghts-small.gif and a new grill, and i need to know what size Hid's i need to buy to go in them and if it is good for them or if they will work and what color hid's? And i need help on the black smoked led tailliights im bout to buy some but from where? Ebay? pics of hids would be great. thanks

 

I got the same headlights with HID's in them and they work awesome. I dont know the size though sorry.

K2motor.com has the tail lights.

 

you have 8K right? is that enough blue. and is there really that big of a difference in seein from 8k to 10k?

 

8000k is enough blue. the difference between 8000k and 10000k is that the 10000k puts out less light than the 8000k.

 

but you dont remember the size of the bulb that goes into the lights? ive been lookin everywhere and still have not found them.

 

im pretty sure its a h13 but i could be wrong!

 

When I did my HID's.... I kept stock housings... I dont imagine its much different but uhhh.... The ballast kit that I had was a stock replacement.... the ballasts had connections to a stock plug and it went right into the housing except the bulbs were hid... low beam 9k high beam 10k.... I am having issues with mine unfortunately

 

ya i think they are different size but cant seem to find the size. did you get yours from hid extra? and is 10K can you still see good.. oh and i just got a call from the manufacter and they are H1.

 

Guys, he is asking about bulb sizes for AFTERMARKET headlights. They are NOT H13's. That is stock housing.

Bulb colors And output vary from one manufacturer to the next since they don't "properly" test or have quality control in assembly. SOme manufacturers provide more salts in their bulbs than others as well as diff types of salts. This changes light output(+/- but generally - up to 500 Lumens) and color. With that being said...

5000K is suppose to be crystal white( but almost always has hint of blue) ~3200lumes
6000K is noticeably blue ~2700 Lumens
8000K is deep blue ~2400 Lumens
10000k is either Very blue or Blue with pruple hue depending on manufacturer ~2100 Lumens
Stock H13' put out ~1400 Lumens on Low and ~1700 Lumens on high.

IMO, anything over 6000K is all for show and severely reduces output not to mention Blue is well documented to cause driver fatigue for both drivers and other motorists.
I personally have driven in a Merceds sedan from Florida back that had 8,000K bulbs and i wanted to rip my eyeballs out by the time I even reached halfway. i had to stay overnight in a hotel to get some shuteye. On the rest of the way back home, same thing. That was the first time EVER that i had to rest driving from NY-Florida ~1300 miles trip. iI have always done non-stop trips no problem.
Besides, your asking for trouble wioth the cops running 8000K+ colored lights. Just some food for thought.

most of those Aftermarket lights run H bulbs. H1, H3, H7...all low output bulbs compared to normal 9006....etc bulbs.

 

my mistake didn't realize those headlights use a different bulb size
