Wow! Supersensitive are we? i didn't assume anything about you OR call you a ricer. You're really making a big deal about this. Try doing some research if you don't believe the information provided here.

changing your lights out to anything else will result in less light output. the only way to get more light output would be to add fog lights up front with 4100k-4300k HID bulbs in them.

Going to 5k or 6k will reduce the light output, but add color (you can see this in the garage example picture.)

Also, I see you have the "landing strip" style LED bulbs on your headlights, are those outside of the headlight housing?

haha..definitly not sensitive at all...... more on the defensive side. I did consider some of you guys input and I appreciate everything. Still unsure tho.....I don't want less visibility since I drive at night... are the Z lights atleast adjustable? I want to leave them stock but the view still doesn't seem quite right

Cjof2003..yes, my lights are on the outside. I didn't want to risk condensation in the head light housing. I opted the next best way..between the head light and the hood.

Have the lights checked to make sure they are aimed correctly. Happens all the time...the other day some dipschitt in an Explorer was behind me and one of his lights was giving me a tan boost

hahaha....but I dont think my lights are off. I just think maybe they can be aimed up just a tad and it'd be perfect. The view in my 350 in pitch black was horrible! Seemed like I could just see 3 feet in front of me! Never fixed that either tho
