Headlight Illumination Issues

[Nargg]

I went with the higher output HIR bulb and adjusted mine and they are fine. I just wish I would find a 4500-5000k HIR headlight bulb and fog light bulb for a more pure white color.

 

Keep in mind that the Sun is yellow. Yellow is the best color for our eyes to see farther and easier. White looks like it sees farther, but it doesn't and casts shadows darker plus tires your eyes out faster. That's one reason so many car lights are somewhat yellow. And why hunting glasses are yellow. You just see better. Color temp of the Sun is about 5780K. Anyway, just something to think about...

I have 5 pairs of brand new headlights coming this week. Both sle and slt. I will be putting FXR projectors in all of them and putting up for sale on a first come first get basis. But this will get the opportunity for a nice exchange/rotation program going like I used to do with the nnbs when they first came out. Few weeks and I will post up when they are ready for sale.

Any for sale yet?

Shipment should be here this week. ;) Hope to get a good exchange program ramped up real quick. I will post up in here as soon as I have this going.

I would be interested in your headlights as well!

I know this for a fact...in my 2009 and my 2012, I could see deer a ways off to the side of the road. now...that sum bitch needs to be damn near be sticking it's head out into traffic while standing on the shoulder...don't get me started about rainy misty weather. They are nowhere near as efficient as my 2012, it was like using a spot light.

 

I don't care about the Kelvin color of the light so people can get a hard on about how great my truck looks...I know it looks good!

 

New to projector technology, yep.

 

Cheaped out LAMP technology by GM, you betcha.

 

Pass DOT MINIMUMS? Obviously.

 

Get used to it? Eventually.

 

Like it? Hell No.

 

Spend money I shouldn't have to upgrade a poor functioning item on a $50k plus truck? BEGRUDGINGLY

 

I'll try to post some comparison picks at night with my Bosses 2013 Sierra SLE versus my 2014 Sierra SLE All Terrain in our work parking lot.

Wow, someone else who feels exactly like me!

I hope the person who chose to have these headlights in the 2014 Sierra trips and steps on a Lego. Feel my pain!

Me too, and I've had plenty of projector equipped cars in the past. Deer are impossible to see standing on the edge of the road now. Nearly everyone who rides with me at night has commented on the light output, including my father-in-law who would never drive another truck other than a GMC.
