So there are a lot of people on here that think they will get a "White" light out of this. Unfortunately you will not but then again you dont want a White light for certain driving conditions like Rain, Snow, Dust and Fog. If you go past 6000k on color temp or even touch it the light will reflect back at you so where you will see nothing but you life flashing before your eye's!!How do I know that? Well lets just say on one vehicle I did LED drop ins and the bulbs were at 6500k temp and in snow you might as well forget it. With the new lights it has now it is more of 5700k and it has full on projectors.Now for these lights I installed them on an old 1993 Nissan Pathfinder. I still have the factory Nissan headlight housings and to say the least they do project light pretty well but the bulbs that were in ut were kind of lacking.... And also showed some sign of oil/grease on the glass.... Not a good thing....After installing the new bulbs I could tell they were brighter. I could also tell that the light pattern was filled in a bit more. Distance? Unfortunately I cant speak on that as of yet since the vehicle is not quite driveable yet(soon I say!! Soon!!!!). I am expecting to have a fair distance with these but also understand that without projector headlights it will only do so much.Installation was a winch but then again it all depends on your vehicle. You can thank engineers for that!!So are you wanting a brighter bulb withput breaking the bank and having a good life? Then I suggest the PIAA brand to you!! Even if you go Xtreme White Plus you should be just fine. Just remember that if you have auto headlights life expectancy will be lower than normal.
