Recommendation for H7 55w 6000k bulbs.

Hi all, I would like to ask for recommendations for a H7 55w 6000k bulb, if there is any. I was hoping I could just get the bulb and not a HID conversion kit as I think it will take a lot of work to change it to HID. All recommendations are welcome. Thank you!

You can't just plug H7 HID bulbs into your stock halogen setup... you'll need an HID conversion kit. It's not difficult though to do. We carry top shelf Morimoto HID conversion kits that are simple plug and play. 6000K is available. Let us know if we can help you out.

For a '6000k' output you need halogen H7's by the likes of Phillips or Osram, ones marked as 'off road use only', no need for HID's. I'm not from the US so not sure if those brands are as popular over there

Me personally I've got Osram Nightbreaker + Unlimiteds which are perfect, and legal

You will get awful light output with a 6000k halogen bulb, just a fyi.

And just for the record.... no halogen bulb really can hit 6000K. I know it's advertised as such, but it's not. Just not capable of reaching those high temps. Some will attempt to fake it with blue tinted bulbs, but that reduces output lumens and often flakes off after a few years. The highest kelvin rated halogen bulbs we've seen are Philips Diamond Visions, but those are closer to 4800-5000K
