    I want to put some 8k headlight hids on my 2015 but I'm not sure if I need to know any wiring size or specific things like that so that I won't order any wrong bulb size. I Haven't really messed with my headlight bulbs or anything yet so I would like to know what size my stock bulbs are or any specific things I need to know before ordering some HIDS

    I have 10k and it's so blue I looked like a cop coming down the road with their lights on lol. I bought mine off eBay for like 40$ and I just sent them a message and told them the make, and model of my truck and they sent the right ones. The brand of mine are xenon.

    Higher kelvin rating doesn't mean brighter. 4500 to 5500k is more OEM and basically bright white. Higher gets more blue and worthless for functional use. Google kelvin color spectrum
