that might be enough for someone to make a call to the folks that drive the paddy wagon. parking 2 trucks side by side on a major highway (the only highway), plugging off both lanes, with a 6' step ladder sitting right on the dotted line, while some dude is running back & forth on the road taking pictures of his headlights when it's -46° below zero. it can be 6-8 hours between cars, or more at times. )Ĭlick to expand.Ha ha, yeah, not much traffic when it's this cold. (For all you kids out there, DO NOT try this at home. I parked one truck in each lane of the highway, and set up a step ladder between them, so I could get up a little higher and show how much light was really on the pavement. and I was worried that pictures wouldn't really show the true light as seen by your eye, but I have to say, that these pics are pretty darn close to how it actually is. (6000k is supposed to be the closest to true sunlight, which is about 5800k). I have always been running the Silverstars in both trucks, until earlier this winter, when I converted the '92 to HID with 6000k color.

I also have both trucks rigged up so on Hi beam, both Hi & Lo are on. Again, I currently have a 1990 Chevy 3500 dumpbed dually, and a 1992 Chevy 3500 SRW, and both trucks have the quad-headlight system. take pictures of an HID headlight conversion system, vs the 'Silver Star Ultra' halogen headlights (supposedly the brightest halogen you can buy). So, tonight, I took both my trucks out to the highway, and parked them side x side to do just that. I know this subject has been brought up before, but as far as I know, no one has posted any pictures of side by side comparisons with identical headlight systems.
