Lights up the ground like a halogen...yellowish on asphalt....but bright ass white with slight yellow hue. GREAT on snow or in rain or on backroads. Anything higher, HID's are blinding m-effers especially on snow.
I got pics somewhere but they're on the external so I gotta find 'em.

Hey beef....
This pic is actually 5000k fogs and 6000k headlights. I wanted to see the difference between the two when a friend ordered 5000k's for her truck. In person and in pics, there's virtually no difference.

Re: Pics of the HID's
Fog ballasts are behind the grille on those vertical "walls" on each side...they're slims. Headlight ballasts are the big mo-fo's and they're mounted on brackets through existing hardware on each side of the radiator in the engine bay. Check my R-F how-to for pics.
You're stupid to waste money on the Piaa's. Everyone will tell you that once they go HID, they're never goin' back to halogen. I went through 4 or 5 sets of different high power halogens and was never happy. Then I drove Trevor's truck with hid's top and bottom and I ordered my kit a half hour later. $175 (4 years ago). Now I have a dead 4 yr old ballast which I would think is a nice lifespan.... Gonna go slims this time around though.

You should go with HIDs IMHO. And there's a lot of places to put the ballast at. If it is a slim ballast, you can put virtually anywhere you want, just so it's away from heat and moving parts . The big normal ballast, I put one beside the battery, not next to the battery but on the frame and the other is beside my coolant and wiper fluid containers.

Dude your going to have a seeing orgasm once you see them at night . I work at night too and I have to say I love working at night. NEVER going back to halogens. The places to put the ballasts are endless. Just so there not around heat or moving parts you should be fine.
