    Hello all, looking to either replace my new aftermarket headlamps with the 5900k bulbs to Halo, projector or maybe different bulbs. Sorry, I'm new and I'm sure this topic has been covered but these lights suck. They look great but have terrible vision. I have a 97 GTP. I'm a certified GM technician and hope to help you guys with technical stuff.... just never used many aftermarket parts and this seems like a good start! Lighting all together would like the same product tail lamps and fog. Thanks!

    Are you using the stock headlights or the spyder projectors?

    I've got replacement aftermarket lamps with 5900k bulbs. I like the blue look but want something with better vision. I don't want something as extreme as 8000k. As in why I want to look into projector, Halo, hid

    So you have OE replacement housings with blueish Halogen Bulbs?, I'm getting a little confused by the way you worded it. If you do get 6000K HID's it should have blueish tint but looks mostly white, 8000k I believe has the more blueish color you want. but remember the higher the K's the less lumens or visable light you will have. If you are gonna do projectors I would do a retrofit because the spyder projectors for our cars are not that good.

    I got some aftermarket head lamp assemblys and then a pair of 5900k bulbs. The fog lamp bulbs are from the same company. The fog lights helped but one already went out. If projectors are the way to go then I'll look into that.
