    I've got 8000k, I'd say its 80% white and 20% tinge of blue. Doesn't hurt my eyes at all and I do tons of night driving.

    Yeah man, a ton of people run higher than 6k, no problem here. Just throwing out my "opinion" for what it's worth that function over fashion makes more sense to me in this department, just my. 02

    I bet in one of the more highly populated TW areas we could probably get a sample truck of each K rating, how exactly does one measure candle power??

    I just don't understand sacrificing performance, functionality and safety for looks. This isn't opinion it's scientific fact. 4300k is the optimal color temp for night vision.

    The reference TRS always gives that I've seen is it's like sunlight. 3000k is yellow, best for fog light use. 4300k will be similar to stock as far as I know

    Ahh, If I had to do it again, It'd be a toss up between 6000k-8000k I think. I'd like to try 6000k's

    Leave this guy alone.

    You guys are all HATERS! Obviously he enjoys ELTON JOHNing his orientation through his lights. I'm sure there is plenty of us on TW who isn't as bold in coming out and saying. "ITS OK to be GHAY". I'm strong, I'm independent, I have equal rights. I'm going to SHINE!


    So keep doing your thing man. I respect that. ​

    The more wasted money dumped into that sort of a rig only ends up being more money down the drain when someone else wants it more than the owner and it gets stolen. And I bet all them "mods" were claimed on insurance so there will be money to be made off it and then go even bigger on the next one. You win! A house to live in of your own vs. 75k on a vehicle would be a hell of a lot more winning. As long as it's his money and his loss then I couldn't give less of a fuck. Here's some food for thought tho....just cuz you post it don't mean anybody has to like just like you doesn't has to like what anyone thinks about it........enjoy all the mindless cumsponges it attracts.

    ^ There is no way that RIG is even close to 75k. I'm just saying.

    Perhaps 4WheelParts did rip him off and guided him into the lift and chrome wheels as they couldn't unload it from the back stock. However even then, not close to 75k. ​

    It was just an example of going overboard building the end all show vehicle. Never thought it was anywhere near worth that. ;)
