Cool thanks Pete. Do you do a lot of night driving? I need good headlights. I'm a police officer that works midnights and I'm always driving to work in the dark. I love the way those lights look. The cut off looks pretty good. I have a set of depots on my tahoe and there's 2 significant hot spots. It drives me crazy. Right now I just have some 5000k HIDs in my stock denali headlights

i dont really do much night driving. and my eyes arer terrible. i wish i had more output. when i turn my factory brights on i feel like Jesus has lit up the road for me
i mean, the HID's and all that have a cool hue / color to them. But i dont feel like i have enough output. I almost feel like an OEM ugly halogen would be brighter. But maybe i just need to get glasses

Try a different bulb color. 4300k or 5000k. I always stick to these 2. About 10 years ago I went with a 6000k and 8000k for the blue look and couldn't see shit haha

Nope kinda the opposite. You're thinking of the lumen (sp?) Output. Most OEM set ups are 4300k

Perhaps
Btw do you have a list of supplies you used for paint? I need to paint my roof, hood, bumpers and hatch and I'm thinking of tackling it myself possibly
