I have a 03 silverado 2500HD that has aftermarket headlight casings that are tinted. looks real cool but not bright. would the 5000k be the brightest?

Anything over 5000k will start to decrease in brightness, especially in rain/fog/snow. My 5000k's cut right through all of it

Yeah I think they would be perfect for your truck with the tinted headlight casings as long as the tint aren't that dark. With you getting the 5000k I think you won't have any problem and I think they would shine through those tints with no problem and give your truck a more definitive look that you are looking for. Write me or email back to let me know and how it turns out and send me some pics. Darrius96@hotmatil.com

I have the 5000k in my tiburon and it is white light but kind of looks like it has a barely noticable blue tint to the light. Either the 4300k or the 5000k should work for you. 4300k might be a pure white.

Yes the 5k are the overall brightest 8k and up are more for the blue hue they are still bright but since your casing tinted wouldn't b a good idea

5000k will be bright and I'm sure you'll be just happy with them. I have 6000k and they come out more blue-ish.. Think of it this way. 5000k are like white with a hint of blue. 6000k are like blue with a hint of white. However they are both extremely brighter then what you have now. So it really depends on the look your going for.

I got them on my 06 2500HD Silverado they look awesome, you will have to saw off the plastic divider between headlights. Have them for over a year now still looking the same.

6000k is white with a hint of blue, 8000k is more blue. The higher the kelvin the darker the color and the less brighter the light. A lot of the brightness also has to do with the quality of the ballast as well as the headlight design.

I have an 05 F150 4x4 and I love my lights. They fit great, they are a bit dim, but nothing a new higher powered 1157 led couldn't take care of. But over all I love my lights, the look, they really give a small but big update to the vehicle.Hope this helped!

if you ask about illumination is better if you put some 4300k or 6000k, it brings more light, similar like the sun light but in my personal opinion the 8000k are the more popular or stylish, it depends on your election, and also depends in the brand of the hid. This is the first time I buy kensun hid lights.

I'm not sure what it is optimized for but I am running 6000k in mine and it puts off quite a lot of light. Im happy with them the chrome backing in the lamps kinda throws light all over the place so when adjusting them just make sure the drivers side is angled in enough.

If you want the brightest I don't recommend this kit. There is better options on eBay. I recommend purchasing a 55 watt HID kit, the brand I used is VVME 55w hid xenon kit. They are the brightestHID bulbs you can purchase for under $100. They are higher wattage than your normal HID kits for the same price. I have installed over 10 HID kits and I found this is the best for the price.my best advice after you installed the HID kit make sure that you are just the headlights this process is different on every car.I currently have them installed on a 2012 Chevy Equinox the brightness is a lease double from factory OEM. Let me know if you have any other questions. If you want the brightest I don't recommend this kit. There is better options on eBay.

I have these on 96 Tacoma, with some cheap 25 dollar headlights I got from ebay. These work extremely well considering price. Huge improvement over the candles I had on my taco. Finally I can see where I'm going. As a matter of fact they have better light output than my 2009 bmw with bi xenon OEM lights. I chose to go with 6k color but if I would be buying another set I would get 8k. If you drive mostly in the city you could save few bucks and go with 35w, but if you want light output go with 55w.

I have the 6000k and the light is very clean. It illuminates the white lines and the road signs. I would suggest the battery power harness also.

The 4000k fixture has a slightly whiter light output than the 3500k. There is not a huge difference in the two but if your preference is towards a whiter light I'd go with the 4000k.

these lights are not as bright as your hid,, hid 4300k to 4500k are the best bright white lights,, these philips xtreme light are just regular light but is brighter then most of the halogan you can find,, its kinda yellowish and white , thats what i seen when i install them,, i replace my hid 4500k ddm tunning with these philips, cause the hid was to bright in my reflector halogan housing and to much glare,,

Good Question, it's probably 900 to 1500 ...I have them hooked up to a railing on my boat for spear fishing so It will be a few days before I go back to check the Lumens listed HOWEVER ...........do not go for the 50 watt ..it is no brighter than the 30 .. It's bigger , bulkier and heavier ... ....this 30 is pretty damn bright though ... ...get the bright white not the cool white ...they all come from the same manufacturer out of China I bought from two seperate retailers cool white ...bright white ...brights are slightly better ... ...and both sets are still working and very well ... I have 4 on the rail so my boat looks like a UFO ....one would be fine for a driveway or deck /pation ....my son was using one for the basketball hoop in our drive ...they played all night .. ....hope that helps

Is your Silverado equipped with HID or LED? Unless you did a retrofit I'm thinking you need halogens. I'd recommend PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs. It's a very strong white light with very little blue hue. It looks nothing like the cheap blue lights many use. The PIAA bulbs aren't cheap but it's worth it. They're very functional and looks great. If you want to go a bit cheaper, then I'd recommend conventional PIAA halogens. They're many bulbs at far cheaper prices, but considering life cycle and overall quality I'd always go with PIAA.
