    The Osram CBI's are a more blue color. IMO the SVS are more white than yellow. Next time your driving around check out another cars OEM HID's. Similar kelvin range there. With more hours on them they also "color shift" to a more blue color from what I've read and seen on hidplanet.com

    Not sure on matching the Rigids, haven't seen them in person. What does Rigid advertise as far as kelvin range? Lighting color in pictures is really hard to tell.


    Wiring, that's personal preference. I like the look of the HALO's on during the day, but if you don't you can use your parking lights.

    Thanks!

    Figured I'd post the newest pic of the truck a few weeks ago. She is in hibernation while I'm deployed.

    Did you put a blanket on her before you left? Don't want her getting all dirty while you are away.

    The alignment is on point, the drop bracket lifts maintain factory suspension geometry, I have a slight vibe between 10-20mph. Not bad at all. Still have stock gears so it's not the greatest with the 35s. For highway use and around town is fine. For extreme Rock crawling and technical stuff gears and lockers would be ideal.
