It's kinda pricey, but definitely an impressive mod to your truck. I can't wait to do it to my car...

As I'm sure you know, the hotter the bulb gets, the more color you gain, but light output you lose. When I do them to mine, I'm going 6K. Shane just ordered HIDs for his Tiburon and got 6K as well. They're badass.
