What Head lightbulbs to match rigid leds?

Ryan2012F350 · Nov 16, 2013

Hey Guys,

I'm picking up some rigid lights front and back for my 2012 F350. E series 20" bar in the front and some D2 Flush mounts for the back bumper.

My question is what headlight bulb will match these the closest as far as color goes. I'd like to not have yellow headlights with the nice white rigids.

Thanks

Probably 5k or 6k HIDs from Retro-Solutions

Ryan2012F350 · Nov 16, 2013

Cool, what about regular bulbs?

I have 5000k HIDs and my D2s look to be a little more blue than my head lights
So if you are going with HIDs id say a 6000k bulb would probably be close

I'd say 6000k, I have 5000k and the rigid lights have a little bit more of a blue tint to them.

Ryan2012F350 · Nov 16, 2013

Might have to flange up some HID's...

LED light bars are 6000k temperature.

Ryan2012F350 · Nov 16, 2013

6000k it is. Thanks all.

Is there a 6000k normal bulb I can get or just HID's come that temp?

I would have to do a Google search honestly

I'd love a 6000k regular bulb. Got some nice LED switchback turn signals and my Silverstar Ultra's look piss yellow. Had some HIDs but don't like the pattern. It's going to be projectors or nothing for me when it comes to HID.

No, HID's are about the only option for that color as far as the headlights go. With all the technology of the newer LED light bars go, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before some builds head light bulbs with the LED's similar to what the bars are. I hope.

I use a scoring system... 10 flashes per day is a free pat on the back. Especially if it's daylight,
