the bulb size will be determned by what your projector housing takees...

colour imo best is 6k for lightoutput... 8k MAX

the higher the k # the less bright it is (ex 6000k is brighter than 10,000k).. but the higher you go up the quality of the color is better.. my friend bought a HID kit off ebay for $120 i think and they are great.. all HID's are brighter than stock evern the 30,000k which is what im gettin.. they are a pinkish/purple color. i also have projectors...look...pretty sure your bulb size is 9007 thats what i would get

yes... and imo if your looking for offroad lighting i suggest 3k (yellow) as its the only thing that breaks through fog and ****ty weather conditions.

or more ricey... 10+k is horrible looking imo
all HID's are brighter than stock evern the 30,000k which is what im gettin..
heavily disagree, in all honesty after 8k you will notice **** light output... it may appear bright on the truck.. but brightness doesn't = light output.

30k hids? horrible.. might as well just use candles to light the road
would think you would want to go 3k to match your truck.. least with them you can see

3000k is the lowest. and as far as the better light quality? HID light output drops almost 50% + after 6000k. those ugly 30000k will put out very little light and will kill your eyes driving at night. the only reason they are available is for show cars. they offer no benefit

3000k... which is yellow... best for weather and offroad.
4000k, 4600k, 5000k, 6000k, etc are available
8000k, 10000k, 12000k, + too


i always suggest 6000k.. 8000k MAX

100% agree... over then 8k is a waste.. they may appear bright.. but bright doesn't mean light out put.
+ your eyes think its brighter because its drawn to the colour.. not the brightness of it.

projectors are usually made in Taiwan or other Asian countries.
i've seen people order the exact same projector and have different bulbs then the other person. i have seen them come with everything from h1, h3, and h4's... depends on which factory i guess.
