what's the deal with everyone changing their bulbs ? i mean... the higher the rating on the kelvin scale the less light output you get doesn't make sense to me ???

the look ? most riced out vehicles i've seen happen to rock 8k + bulbs...

idk just my opinion and for that price... i don't know how great those bulbs really are... nothing against the chinese... but they're probably made in china

actually you are mistaken. DOT approved headlights ONLY include 4300 - 4500k bulbs all other temperature rated bulbs are NOT DOT approved because they are not a "natural color" light. therefore makes them illegal and not DOT compliant. so unless land rover has gotten away with it this long the answer is no. and as far as my computer... it was actually made in my room with chinese built components and some chinese made screwdrivers and tools. but i had no choice in that. but if i had to buy bulbs and i had the option of choosing between mcGee's lighting or Sylvania or Phillips i would go with the last two. =)

Well CKP didn't i tell you about the bulbs from hpautoworks? it's only like 29 bucks more shipped, I got those cause they had a 5 year warranty, I got 6k cause I wanted to get rid of the yellow tint form the headlights, I didn't really lose viability and honestly i can see the signs better because they reflect better.

I don't know up to you what you get, i'm happy with my bulbs lol.
