so why wouldn't a 55W ballast not use a 55W bulb? that just don't make electrical sense.
as for the 5000K, i wanted a nice bright white with just a tinge of blue in it. actually i saw a pair of bulbs - i can't remember who hass them, maybe AAC Style - but they're some 5000K or 6000Ks with a slight purple hue. it looked really nice, especially since my blinkers/DRLs (which are soon to be converted to blinkers), backups, and soon to be interior/gauges are purple.

 

I did 4300k HID on lows, with HIR's on High And with a couple diodes I backfed the low and fogs when the HI's come on, so I get all 6 lights ... talk about daylight

The only thing I don't like about my setup is the HID's themselves aren't really that bright. I was really surprised they were that dull. For the money I'd probably do HIR's on lows and HIs

 

oh really? would you say they're still brighter than stock 9005s? got any pics?

 

I'll see what I can come up with in the next couple days. I don't own a camera, but I can track one down

 

If the stock denali lights are hazy on the lense, heres a link to clean them up. It does make a difference in the light out put. I did this when I first got them and they were a little hazy and this cleaned them up.http://denalitrucks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5538

 

I have had the 35w 6k HID's in my factory 02 Denali projectors for 2 years now with zero problems and the light out put is far superior to the halogen bulbs. They also have a very sharp cutt off angle so there not blinding on coming traffic.

 

you can't compare the light output of a halogen to an HID...lol

 

I was actually just refering to the below post, because he was making it sound like his 35w HID's werent much brighter than the factory halogens, and with me there was a huge difference....

 

^ I know. I was referring to what PSM posted up
We have HIDs in all of our vehicles, and I sell them, so I am very familiar with the differences between the two lights.

 

fail
any chance you could copy/paste to a thread here?
