HID kit for 2003 4runner

If you want more light output, get a 4300K kit, 6000K is too blue and loses light output

thank you everyone for your input.

so it seems 4300 to no more than 5000k output is the way to go.

as nice as HIR's may be, i think i may stick with just upgrading the halogen bulbs so that i do not have to do any sort of modification.
it seems that most people do not prefer silverstars because they dont seem to last very long.

i found a thread with some information on the phillips crystalvision ultra 4000k and they seem decent.

has anyone heard of Osram Rallye 65w H7 bulbs?

how do the sylvania silverstars compare to the phillips crystal and ultravision?

Although, a different type of lens (Glass vs Plastic) Sylvania Silverstars have always outperformed the other types of bulbs i've used in my 3rd Gen.

HIR's are halogen bulbs, simple modification to the top tab and plug and play.

I've never had an issue with silverstars, every set I've had has lasted for years

sorry for being such a complete novice at this.
so if i decide to go the HIR route and do the simple modification to make them fit, what brand/bulb should i go with?

No worries, we've all had to ask questions.

Check out this website for some background on the HIR bulbs and a link to candlepower for pricing

HIR Headlights 9011 9012 bulbs

Stock low beams and fogs= 9006....HIR= 9012 (HIR2)
Stock high beams= 9005....HIR= 9011 (HIR1)

I bought mine off of Amazon, I have a prime account and were a little cheaper. Philips brand

Hate to resurrect and older post, but I wish I had found this during my HID research. I ordered 6k lights and just got them delivered. Waiting to get time to install. sounds like I may be ordering the lower bulbs. #$@!

Yeah, 6000K look pretty, but the light output aint that great

4300K is the brightest, each time you go up you will lose light output. The more blue you go the higher the color temperature and the less light you will get.

Yeah ^ That's why manufacturers tend to use 4300k on their new vehicles..

So yeah, 4300-4500 I'd say, you are golden.. Pretty much, Anything more and you'll start looking like a Ricer.. No offense.. As some people Love the way 8k-10k looks..

Lol 5000k bulbs do not make you look like a ricer.

Subjective lol .. but at the same time it won't have that OEM look either..
