    FYI Walmart sells Philips bulbs in stores now...the VP line H11 and 9005's I bought say "Made in Germany".

    Which of These H6054LED's is Better?

    At this point I'm considering just looking for a better clear lens 5x7 H4 halogen reflector and maybe a specialty bulb with a higher wattage high beam like https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4818591

    Which of These H6054LED's is Better?

    From what I'm seeing on YouTube the TruckLite version of the Philips would be best as Philips chose the blue side with 6000K while I think TruckLite is 5000K but at nearly $500 each that's just way too much.

    Best W21W/7440 white LED for forward DRL application?

    NEVER EVER install LED's for factory DRL's. Not only is it illegal to change the bulb type but the factory PWM dimming for DRL's will cause the LED's to high frequency strobe at full brightness blinding and possibly causing seizures for other drivers.

    I miss my HIDs

    Selective yellow should be legal as it is somewhere between amber and white is it not? Which Headlight Colours are Legal in the United States? Figuring out the laws regarding headlights for cars in the United States can be tricky. Laws about vehicle safety are under the control of the states...

    In theory those (selective yellow) should work well in snowy white out conditions.

    5000K might work ok in Texas but I definitely would stick with 4300K anywhere where snow is common.

    Which is still too blue. 5000K needs to be the max legal limit thus manufacture 4300K to 4600K to be sure the bulbs comply.

    Adaptive or not the 6500K low quality light of LED's sucks. They need to be using 4300K HID's as the source.

    But what color are they? Anything above 4300K-4500K is horrid.

    Field / Work lighting for tractor

    Since no one wants to make decent LED's below 6000K I would personally put a bunch of 4300K HID floods on it. They used to be commonly available before LED's took over.

    HID's don't usually "burn out", they dim over time. If they're dim it's time to replace the bulbs. RockAuto is usually the cheapest, be sure to get genuine Philips or Osram. Not some aftermarket.
