That's just straight iPhone camera photo. No filters or anything.

I read somewhere a ranking of the top somenumber of places to view sunsets/sunrises on earth. Kansas was the only US place on the list.

Have to admit we get some spectacular shows.

Pano didn't do as much justice as I hoped.

Maybe because there's "nothing" to block the view, he he, very nice pic

Must have been a Kansas-centric writer...

I tried those zxe's on mine, they're definitely bright than stock. But coming from hid's they just can't compare.

You know what has kept me away from those?
Everyone says they fail something like 5 times as fast as stock bulbs and at 4 times the cost. I've wanted to try them and few times and didn't buy them every time because of that.

Another minor issue is typically any kind of color filter on the glass, which those have, reduces actual output meaning those could actually be dimmer than OEM.

They are bright but the life on them sucks and you will be buying $40-$60 worth of lights once to twice a year. I went with the Phillips Ultravision and been running them for almost 2 years without any issue and they are bright also.

Hope the ZXE last for you but if they don't then give the Phillips a shot.

I had Wagner......... something I forget what they call theirs and liked them. True bright or some crap? But they were also technically a little dimmer than OEM, but they were definitely whiter.


I wonder why no one seems to make headlight lamps using Krypton instead of xenon and argon?

Yeah I am not sure if they are "truly" brighter than stock or if its a placebo effect but they are much whiter and clean looking at night.

No clue, probably has something to do with cost?
What Type of Light Bulbs Have Krypton Gas Inside? | eHow


Here is what I found about Krypton bulbs.

Incandescent

Incandescent bulbs use a filament to produce light--an electric current courses through the filament, and the resistance of the tungsten creates heat and light. Most incandescent bubs use argon gas or an argon mixture inside the bulb, since normal air would drastically shorten the filament's lifespan. However, some bulbs use a krypton mixture. Krypton is better at slowing the burning process and allows the tungsten to survive even longer, but the resulting bulbs are much more costly than common incandescents.

I had them in my 2012 for over a year and they still ran great. When I sold my car I was like sh*t I forgot to swap them out lol

I wouldn't feel bad, chances are they would fail soon anyway so better just to buy new.
