    Thank you :rofl: that's the answer I've been digging for. I've heard about the higher level lights being blue but was wondering if the regular white lights would be skewed.

    Now I wounder what the blue ones would look like with white halo rings for running lights.

    I have 6k bulbs and they're definitely blue about to switch to the cbis soon though, as for the 4300k you'll still see blue but it'll just be the color band from the projector shield. Ie my bulb temp is "blueish" the shield makes a color band hence the blue light people associate with high end luxury cars thus ordering hids thinking it's literally blue light

    Also painting your shield will give you a sharper cutoff line and more defined color band

    Hurry the eff up and get some more shots of that facelift. And quite frankly, I'm not impressed at all with the lackadaisical effort on your retrofit. I figured you'd be done by now.

    I'm trying! But at the same time I don't want to mess anything up ;)
    :rolleyes:

    It's only been less than 2 hours since I brought the boxes into my room! :p

    I got lucky that they changed my work schedule. I don't have to go to work again until 10:45 Wednesday night! Plenty of time to work on this!

    Ha. Take your time then. That's plenty of time IMO. Be sure to test fit them on the truck and aim them before you seal up the lens. My buddy just installed his and his passenger side was like 5 feet higher than it should have been haha. I have no idea how that's possible with the mini kits, so I think he must have messed with the factory adjustments.
