    Thanks Toy, it was late and I couldn'the think after working on computer issues with Standard Chartered Bank in UK. 14 mm for the shroud. I usually grab the 10 and 12 as default and had to go back to the toolbox.

    My 10,12,14,17mm are my most used sockets at work. My 21mm Impact socket for lug nuts is used so frequently, the black coating found on impact sockets had worn off completely and looks like a dull chrome socket lol

    I still use mostly standard on the Harleys. But a metric occasionally sneaks in. Usually 10mm.

    After 5500k, usable white light diminishes as it goes into the blue spectrum. 6500 will have a higher blue tint. It will be more for show than for functionality. Yellow to white always provides the best visibility. I would do 5500k all the way around.

    I agree with Sam, anything over 5500K and your going to start to get a Blue Tinge, personally I went with the following:

    * 5500K 35W Morimoto HID Low Beams

    * LMZ 5000K 45W LED High Beams

    * LMZ 5000K 25W LED Fog

    * Triton LED Front Turn Signals

    All are from www.VLEDS.com

    Next project, parts on the way, is to swap out the Rear Brake, Turn Signals, Reverse, and Licence Plate Lights, and the Interior Lights with the exception of the Vanity Lights on the Visors because I think they may be a tad bright if swapped out to LEDs, again, all are from VLEDs.

    Once the HIDs warm up the Fogs, High Beams, and Low Beams match up almost perfectly.
