That makes a huge difference

I found the phillips xtremes for the head lights, but i dont see any available for the fogs.

Any help with this?

X2. Honestly if you can afford aftermarket halo projectors, you can afford to do a retrofit (if you do the work yourself). The results will be better too.

Yes it could be that......but they did this...

Custom truck parts put in the highest legally they could put in so Im leagal......and there was a huge difference and i don't mean from being yellow stock to bright white......range was more and wider....or clearer cause it was white instead of yellow......

I posted the bulb # and wattage I used and price few pages back

In my 2011 f150 Fx4 I have a Beamer HID conversation kit at 6000k. I re-aim the lights(turned them down). I love them but still get flashed once an awhile. Once thing I've noticed with these lights is that on high beam they reach longer but they aren't as intense close in. So I'm gonna drive around with the high beams on see if I get flashed as much as I do with low beam.

I thought I'd post my picture showing a PIAA on the left, and the factory bulb ( 2012 Fx4 ) on the right. The difference should be obvious. It's even MORE obvious in person...The PIAA bulb really makes the factory light look almost brown.
