    Well, I would not run cheapo Chinese lights like that because of quality as well as them being illegal with HIDs, but I would run 4300K because they are the brightest. Then again, if you are picking these lights you are IMO not that concerned with performance, but looks, and youd want 6K so you dont end up dimmer than stock and get a nice fake factory projector coloration for others to see.

    those aren't dual projectors. low-beam is but hi-beam is halogen. save your money and do a retro-fit. i had a pair of those and ended up throwing them away

    its your truck man, do that ya want with it. I have those EXACT same lights for 2+yrs. NOT ONE ISSUE. gets looks and compliments all the time. If you like they way they look go for it. Thats what i did and im glad i went that route. Plus gives ya your factory headlights free time to try the BHLM.

    I have heard all the following issues with those light.

    1. Leaking/fogging
    2. Dim or non functional LEDs and/or halos
    3. Poor beam pattern on HID conversion (due to being halogen projectors)

    And finally they are illegal in all 50 states in the US when converted to HID bulbs.

    I would LOVE for there to be a simple plug and play replacement headlamp that was high in quality and meet DOT specs with good output and utilising quality parts. That does not exist.

    Those lights are substandard and a gamble due to quality, however; they look pretty cool and if that is all you care about go for it but just dont think they will be as good as a real conversion using OEM projectors like TL or FX projectors and realise you dont get a highbeam HID with those.

    I am saving my money for a TL retrofit. Nothing better than that IMO.

    Those headlights suck ass! My cousin and I ran them and they are terrible. You can get the same one on ebay for half that price also if you really want them. I think the best bet for projectors is to retrofit them yourself into your stock ones. They look way better and work way better then those IMO.
