okay then.... I'm sure you have read the highway traffic act like I have. no worries, whatever, I dont care.

no one gives a shìt about what's legal anymore. I dont even know why I bother.

there is no such thing as legal hids for our trucks. there are legal LEDS if you have the work truck front end. I dont know what you have. you never told us exactly what in the flying fùck your working on. the only legal hids on vehicles were the ones that were manufactured with them.

Or anyone else on the road for that matter. As long as they can see better, everything else is irrelevant. I have to stop myself from making these arguments on a regular basis because it almost always falls on deaf ears.

No kidding that’s why I went with 6000k it’s perfect yet doesn’t blind anyone especially when aimed correctly

Regardless of what headlights you have you won’t see that good unless there aimed correctly new bulbs are a must regardless of halogen hid or led as it’s safer to be able to see and be seen when driving just make sure there aimed properly and aren’t blinding anyone

Color temperature has nothing to do with the way the housings reflect light. Almost all aftermarket HIDs/LEDs do a pretty terrible job of rating them too. Even if that 6000K color rating is accurate, halogens are much more yellow and closer to 3500K which is a lot easier on your eyes at night. Color aside... HIDs have a different filament design and placement than standard halogens so you'll get some light scattered in places it shouldn't be if you put them in a reflector housing designed for halogens. Same deal with LEDs.

Anyone concerned about light pattern/cut off and legality should be running the type of bulb that their housings were designed for. You can get much better performance out of the factory standard halogen setup just by upgrading the wiring. There's over 200 pages of discussion on this and other related topics here.
