    I’ve been trying to read through all the headlight threads, but my head is starting to spin! I just want to match my headlights to the color of my DRL’s and fog lights on my 2018 Pro. I like the light output I’m getting from my stock bulbs, I just want the colors to match. Suggestions please!

    HIDs will get you close. LEDs will be easier to match the color. But keep in mind that the "hotter" the color, the less actual usable light output you'll have. I've read that 4800-5000k output is best for headlights.

    Are the HIDs plug and play or is there some kind of harness needed? I like simple and easy! Which ones would you suggest?

    I've got Philips CrystalVision Ultra's in low beams and fogs.
    Philips claims they're "up to 4000K", but they're definitely no where as white as the DRL's.
    They're much whiter than the OEM bulbs, so for about $20/pair, I'm happy.
