    i have a 2016 toyota tacoma and want to upgrade my bulbs to hid, not trying to go overboard or anything just want some more light, im thinking about getting these http://www.xenondepot.com/H11B-HID-Kit-Xtreme-HID-p/xt-h11b.htm

    in either the 3000k or 4300k philips bulbs, in H11b

    i have the baja designs amber fog lights so i think the 3000k would look cool but the philips bulbs are supposed to be better. thoughts?

    I wouldn't do the 3000k for headlights as that is pretty yellow, the 4300k would be a better option and also put out the most lumens.

    4300k Philips is the kit I run and besides the slight amount of bulb shake/bounce I really like the output and color

    I am also looking at the xenon depot kits. When I called for more info the guy told me out trucks call for the a style bulb and the b bulb connection is wrong. This contradicts everything I've been reading in the hid threads. So confused. Let me know which way you go please.

    Their vehicle specific kit works great for our trucks, the guy on the phone didn't know what he was talking about.
