I did 4300 for my two kits and then got a pair of 5000 for the set of projectors already on my truck to see the color difference.

I got 6000k cuz thats what I had in my pNps and I like the little bit of blue they put out. My dad has 5000k and it is a pure white, and reaches out a little farther, but I've got 4 lights in my grill for distance :devil:

I've had good luck previously with 5000K -- it's a nice pure white but still has a good amount of light output. So, I ordered my additional units at that temperature also.

Supposedly 4300 is the highest absolute visible light output, and 5000 is a bit less, but just a bit. Higher than that, the visible output drops off more -- that is, it is less in the range where your eyes can best pick it up...but it all depends on what your overall goals are. I've seen ones sold at 10000K and even 12000, but it's way into the purplish-violet zone at that point...I've always wondered what kind of applications where someone would actually want that.

One week left in this group buy!

If you are thinking about ordering, time to get your order in...

Im interested in doing this but has anyone successfully performed this on 2010/2011 trucks? Also, am I correct to assume 1 kit will do both headlights or do I need 2 kits?
Thanks.
John

Check out this thread for guys who have done it in the 09+ heads.

One kit will do both heads :beers:

So far there are four guys with 09-11 trucks with retro'ed heads

I can see this list skyrocketing once this is done. Great job, OP!

We are getting pretty close to the 25 kit level for maximum discount of 25%!

Don't have an exact count, but it is about 20.

Group buy is open until 8/15 if you still want to get your order in!

ak_cowboy 08-10-2011 12:52 AM

I was all set to go 4300k, but switched to 5000k when Nate at TRS told me that both he and Matt run 5000k.

Raptor05121 08-10-2011 10:32 PM

Yes. 5000K looks so much more better than 4300K

And virtually no difference in light output :beers:

pfb2 08-10-2011 11:45 PM

5K is my choice as well.

2 more purchased
 
Oddly enough, I was looking to TRS to retro my wife's MDX. I haven't been to this site in 7 months (newborn...) But ran acrossed this group buy and thought what the heck for 25% and combined shipping, I do my wife's MDX and my FX4.
Two kits just sold!
