    I haven't ran this setup myself personally as I do not like the warm yellow tinge to my headlights. I run 35w ballast with Osram CBI. I do know that with 4500k bulbs and 55w ballasts it is going to be very bright. What you using now?

    Currently running D2S 3.0 with 35 watt ballasts and 4500K bulbs. I think I read that running 55 watt ballasts will lower the color temp of the 4500K bulb and make it look closer to 3500K. Is that correct?

    What do you think of this so far? This will be for a 2014 Tacoma.

    2012-2015 Stage II with

    New OEM housings painted satin black No chrome at all! Clear lens.
    Clear smoke dark reflectors replacement
    Morimoto D2S 4.0 (not sure if 4500k or 5500k) help me decide.
    Panamera shrouds also painted satin black.
    Morimoto 55 watt ballast.
    Morimoto H4 wiring harness.
    Dual switchback halos front and rear. I want them to work as turn signals and DRL

    The wiring harness has to be plug an play bro.

    I really like Demon Eyes but I don't think I would use them much. The Duel Switchback Halos would get used all the time.
