Speaking of blue, from what I've read and experimented with, once you start getting over 6500k the light will start turning blue.

I tried a set that had a blue tint and found that to be horrible for me. What ever it is about the blue light and my eye balls I couldn't see chit at night and struggled driving with them. I couldn't get them out fast enough.

I learned to keep it at 6500k and just concentrate on lumen output.

I couldn’t find the bulbs you posted but I did find these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...OX7RJ67Q2&th=1

I think these should work?

And these are the 5 3/4” lenses, they say they are for high beam but will work on high and low beam:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is this all correct??

The lens in the second link is correct.

The first link takes me to a Lightening Dark H4 but I noticed it's slightly different than what I usually buy. Those have a fixed prong rather than a pig tail harness attached and appear they should work the same but I notice they are only advertised at 14,000 lumens. The H4 Lightenings I usually buy are 20,000 lumens.

These are the ones I buy

https://www.amazon.com/LIGHTENING-DA...%2C140&sr=8-38

They are only a couple more dollars $43 vs $49 with 20,000 lumens vs 14,000. They also sell a version with 22,000 lumens but the price jumps to $75

I've had these in my cart since I saw your link.

Thought I'd bump the thread and note they're on sale for $39.99 for Prime Day.

Anytime anyone is within a half mile of me with those super bright blue headlights my instinct momentarily says "cop".

They light up the dessert roads so nicely, and i hardly ever use the brights, because man.... they light up like you are a jetliner coming in for a landing in the darkest of night, they are that awesome
I once had a 68 Chev I had aircraft landing lights in the high beam sockets. Talk about bright. You had to be careful where you used them. I once checked how far away I could see some of those big green interstate signs. About 2 miles out. But they didn't have a lot of beam spread. About like spotlights.

I just got done installing these. Couldn't have been easier. Took 20 mins total. Not sure why my camera picks up the light as yellowish, but it is anything but yellow. It's a bright white almost on the verge of blue tint. I appreciate all the help!!

I used the MAD relay kit on high and low beams then installed halogen lights on my 69 GTO. Its as bright as most new cars and the light is white, not yellow.
