HID or LED

Xenon Depot HID with Philips 4300 bulbs. Brand new, 5min on them. Not as white as my wife’s Subaru Outback LEDs but def just as bright. I’m sure both are great, buy whichever ones you can get a deal on.

 

I like the light output from those, but I'm just torn on 4300k or 5000k...I really want a close match to the DRL...and 4300k doesn't do that..but it does provide more usable light hmmm.

 

You can’t even tell DRL’s are on with hids installed in the headlights. They dim down when the headlights are on and the brightness really drowns the faint DRL. I have 5000K but look a little more like 6000K and you can’t even tell they’re on.

 

What brand do you have?

 

That’s how I feel as well.. the low beams on totally drowns out the DRLs if you’re looking into the headlight. Matching is irrelevant because everything is a nice clean white!

5500k/35w TRS/Morimoto for reference

 

I have a Kensun Kit 5000K HID kit.
I’ll take pictures and post it tonight.

 

@here4cake - I was going to start responding to you, but clearly regardless of what I say (right or wrong) I'll be classified as a salesman. Here's a review written by a forum member (@RobP62 -no affiliation to XD) of our H11 LED bulb installed in a 2017 Tacoma:
