Because HIDs require a start-up time. If you never have to flash someone, then I guess you'd be okay.

your lights look REALLY good!!! is there anyway you can take a head on night pic and the cut off lines on a garage door or wall??? i know you mentioned to someone else that you have to ask the company to send the cancelers with the order but how much extra for those???

I paid an extra $30 for my cancelers. You can get the same cut off lines with the halogens, it just won't be as bright.

The right one shows both the low and high beams on at the same time.

I'm pretty sure if your truck has the quad headlights the lows stay on when you turn the highs on. That is the case with my 09 with the quad headights.

Thanks. The cancellers were free. I just told him about the problem I was having and he sent them out...no charge. I am loving the lights now that the problem is fixed. I'd do it if I were you.

Anyone find out more info if installing these voids coverage on maxlife warranty? Which Kelvin is the brightest? 5000K or the yellow 3000K?

The Kelvin rating is the temperature (color) of the light. 3000K would be yellow and annoying, 4300K to 5000K would be in the white range, where 6000K to 8000K would be blue and on up to purple 10000K + and useless.

I read somewhere that the higher the Kelvin the less brightness you get. Is this true?
