What do you guys think?

Try the 8000K bulbs. They will be a great upgrade from the factory Xenon Light.

Now the problem you'll have to worry about is how to install the new bulbs. I've been too lazy and busy (alternately) to figure the damn thing out. It does look like I'll either have to crawl under the front bumper or take it off to access the lights.

For those that spout off that it'll look rice I'm guessing have never even seen 6000k+ HIDs. They look about as opposite as you can get as those cheap bulbs. I replaced my car headlights with some PIAA's that were supposed to look like HIDs and they have a blueish tint to them, not very bright ...very rice.
Now I have the 6000k Phillip HID's on my Denali and they look phenomenal. They're extremely bright and have a more deeper purple tint to them than those found on BMW's, Mercedes, etc. IMO they look WAY better.
I've never seen anyone else with them either. It makes my truck stand out for sure. The few times I thought I saw them I'd say damn those lights look SWEET only to figure out once getting closer that it was my wife driving the truck.
