Changing stock D5S bulb

[Limited360]

Very happy with the bulb output, could tell instantly when they came on! I did go with the 6500k as this is worst case for the output actually. 200 lumens less rating to 5500k

 

More importantly is this...

 

OEM measured 295 Lux @ 25 feet

 

Morimoto 35W 6500k measured 520 Lux @ 25 feet

 

I will get some pictures posted up at some stage soon.

So technically they're almost 75% brighter than stock????? Wow, let us know your driving impressions at night.

You installed these on a 2016-2017 Silverado w/ HID's stock?

2016 with stock HID's is correct

I will be leaving Michigan at 3am over the weekend so will get some exposure then. Quick check last night after install made a good impression.

In for pics as well...this would be easier than swapping to the LED headlight.

That's crazy. $350 for a pair of bulbs!

Agreed but these 25W HIDs aren't very bright.

 

Anyone know what these Philips put out compared to stock? Both look to be 25W.

 

Edit: Found it - 2k lumen. What do stock bulbs put out?

The stock D5S is a Philips 25w.

It is bulbs / ballast / ignitor all in one, not to shabby in my book for the price point.

Not the best pictures by anymeans, the SLR wouldn't turn on and the wife was long gone to bed (not my camera to mess with).. So I used my iphone which do no justice for these.

 

This is the OEM Only

 

This is the Morimoto Only

 

This is the Morimoto on the left, OEM on right of photo

 

Both Morimoto now

 

 

 

 

Keep in mind this is also an OEM Kelvin compared to a 6500k which should yield lower output, but being 35w it still blows the 25w away!

 

Working my way up my 50 posts... slowly but surely as I would love to offer these up to the community at a much better price than retail! I believe everyone should have the best lights...

Anytime! I need to double check alignment and then get some on the road pics! Towing the camper they were high, don't want to blind anyone with these things...

 

Also I will get some high beam photo's. Just wish they would of came with 35w from the factory, so silly.

Any photo of the truck. I want to see how much blue they show off compared to the white led
