What bulbs would y'all recommend these are stock housings and I am running Phillips ultra vision however they are not bright enough to power through the nightshade I love the look on my truck but need them to be functional as well thought about his and I know this is a touchy subject especially when it comes to the stock housings but what other options do I have if I go HID it will be 6k or under I don't want no blue or purple headlights especially in a smoked housing

Holy run on sentence.
Take the nightshade off. That was never a good idea to begin with. Do not put HIDs in your stock housings unless you have absolutely no respect for anyone else on the road.

I went back to my clear housings I wasn't looking for the negatives all I wanted was a suggestion on what lights to use I know someone on here has done night shade just wanted to see what bulbs they used before I put mine on for good

The problem is really that the stock headlights are abysmal. You can't easily put enough bulb in there to correct that, so the shades are just adding insult to injury. The headlights are the worst aspect of my truck... there are all sorts of nice improvements I look forward to having in the replacement truck in a year or so, but the one that annoys me every time I drive at night is the poor pattern and low output of the headlights. I'm hoping the 2015+ LEDs are sharp and bright!

There's no positive to give on that setup. It's poor at best.
The ones that do it usually don't even drive at night.

Well I guess is back to the drawing board sucks cause I like the look maybe time for just some black housings

I've seen a truck with blacked out retrofits that looked cool. That means the output would be superior to stock as well.

I may just use these smoked lenses to do my retrofit

Putting tinted lenses on retrofits would basically be doing all of that for nothing.
