I'm liking the 6000K lows, but not feeling the 3K fogs, they really don't compliment each other. Thanks for starting this thread, I think I will go with 6000K lows and fogs like one of the earliest pics. Now what brand are you' all using???

His projectors, for whatever reason, are better. The ones in my Denali suck. Major hot-spots, even with normal bulbs. The lenses themselves are kind of hazy, too. That's why I'm doing a retrofit with better projectors that should have a wide spread and distinct cutoff. They are both still too deeply centered. If you look at the Denali lenses, they have vertical sort of corrugations. That is a cheap way to try to get better light spread. Also a good sign the projectors aren't very good to begin with.

I believe the lens from these projector beams makes differences in brightness. I’ve bought few HID’s from different people and brands. The most intense brightness I notice was my Porsche housing after replacing the stock bulbs. Like the camera lenses, these lenses must be a good quality glass and clean precise cuts to give it’s intensities.

I will. I'll try to get some "before" shots, too. Taking good pictures of lights is the hardest part...lol.

This project is probably about 2-3 weeks out. Hope to have it completed mid-Oct., but a lot depends on work and time. I have a few other things that need to get done first on the truck, so this is a couple projects down the list at this point.

Took it last night to show the true color of my fogs... (Pictures taken with my Canon - White Balance corrected to capture and provide TRUE color)
