In other words post pics of your headlight set-up, how bright they are and what bulbs they are. Here are mine:

Low Beams: 80W


High Beams: 100W


Driving Lights small:


Fog Lights:


Hella Black Magic Driving Lights:

 

when i turn on the fogs on my hilux the whole world goes yellow!

 

my fog lights are the size of a loonie yours are the size of my Hella Black Magic

Just my headlights... (35w Philips 85122+ HID bulbs)

 

I got plans on getting 10000k or 25000k HID kits soon.

 

ok I'll play.

1st is my normal driving lights. 2nd is high beams. 3rd is HIDs w/ high beams

But i agree night shots are very subjective to the camera and it's operator because i know my HIDS are a lot different then my high beams but in these pics you can hardly tell.

 

Those are going to be seriously purple lol

 

yup, the 25000k lights are like black lights or purple yea

 

Well if you're planning on getting more output I would definitely go a different route... 4300k is the color temperature to stick with for the most lumens. A Philips 35w 85122+ bulb (4300k) produces 3400 lumens while a Philips 35w Ultinon bulb (about 6000k) only produces about 2500 lumens. I have both and the difference is noticeable, especially in wet conditions. Now going up to 10000k or 25000k I'm sure will drop off a considerable amount of output. Plus Philips is the way to go with HID bulbs; in that high of a color temperature you're going to have to go with a knock-off brand.

On another note, I totally agree with the differences in cameras... You aren't going to get a good comparison in this thread unless everyone sets all of the camera settings the same.

 

i'll post mine tonight!

two hella 500s, two hella 700FF and the factory lamps. pretty soon each light will be converted to 100 watt bulbs.

 

.....and just how large is this "loonie" you speak of?

 

the loonie is the Canadian dollar, similar in size to your american 50 cent coin

 

so I'm guessing no one has the problem of the disappearing headlight when someone is driving behind you and their headlights create huge glare around your truck so all you see is the shadow that you are driving. Guess I should work on that

 

seeing these pictures, there's DEFINITELY something wrong with my headlights. My regular lights are brighter than the brights.
