2016 Headlight Color Temp

There are several versions of Sylvania Silverstar. The ULTRA, which I spoke of above, is 4200, which for most people is clear white. The Silverstar Xenon 5000K is described by Sylvania as "cool blue". The Silverstar zXe is also a Xenon product but which is described as a 4200 Kelvin blue light. It's really pretty confusing and I wonder if any of us has a way of measuring the delivered light temperature ... I don't have my grandfather's photographic light meter any more!

Bottom line, it is likely to be a matter of personal preference and perception ... my only intent originally was to point out that a relatively inexpensive upgrade is possible without a lot of hassle.

Even comparing company charts, they seem to vary significantly between what they say and what they show!
This chart makes 4300 look quite yellow, but doesn't show the 5000 as noticeably blue.

I did the streetglow as well. They match perfectly!

Which Model of Expedition do you have? Did you replace both the high and low beams? I have an XLT, did you use the

KHPH116K H11-40W CREE LED Headlight Conversion Kit-Pair for the low beams?

and the

XHPH90056K 9005-40W CREE LED Headlight Conversion Kit-Pair for the high beam?

I bought both but the High Beam heatsink/fan did not clear the housing so I couldnt put the cover back on. Opted to return them and have stock high beams on for now. Currently looking for low profile LED's to replace them with.

Were those the part numbers you bought though? I think I would be okay with different high beams because I would guess the fogs out out when you turn on the high beams anyway.

I recently bought a pair of the OPT7 H11 LED for my 15 XLT and the H11 plugs that come on the kit do not fit the Expy. I tried contacting tech support but no luck. I am packing these tomorrow and returning them to amazon. I also tried with the Philips clear vision bulbs for the high beams as they advertise them as XENON color match but that's not the case. They are still somewhat yellow. I think my plan is H11 LED and get hyper yellow high beams.
