Default D3S CBIs - OEM HIDs - Rigid DOT Duallys

With all the hoopla lately surrounding the much hyped Morimoto XBs (which are damn nice by the way) I thought I could throw out the Rigid DOT Dually output shots against the OEM HID bulbs and my newly installed OSRAM CBIs.

My install thread is here:

Now some pics:

You should have taken some with just the fogs. I like cbis.

I just updated the install thread. Didn't want to clutter it all up with similar threads. Click the link before the pics and scroll down.

Nice. I Like the cbi's as well. Not really any "brighter" but they give off a nice white and make those beautiful projector color lines even nicer.

Cbi's, switchback LEDs, led fogs, 20" in the bumper, and a 40" behind the grille.

I agree. The CBIs are not any brighter than the HBI that came out of my factory housings...but the color is noticeable, especially on street signs. It's a more crisp light and there's a smidge of blue/purple on the cutoff line. Nothing as intense as the retrofit I had previous and sold last month, but still nice to see.

I agree. I'm happy with the crisp color of them. How do you like the duallys?

The DOT Duallys are amazing.

Here's the Duallys by themselves on a dark backroad. They are almost bright enough to drive with nothing on but them.

I've been tossing around the idea of running a raptor front bumper and using these as fogs. Do you have them in place of your factory fogs?

Sure do. Mounted them inside an opened fog reflector housing. Check out the install thread.

The comparison picture is deceiving your stock light picture is taken with your truck in a different spot in the parking lot it's hard to tell if there is any difference at all in your light out put in the HIDs.

Just sayin
