Default IPF Headlights...white or blue?

Well I've had them on now for a couple of weeks and the blue bulbs are NOT ricer blue. Its just very white light. I'm very happy with them and can actually see where I'm driving with the low beams and no fogs. With the fogs on I think I'm set for up close. Now I just need to get some driving lights mounted up and I'll be done with lights.

I ran the blue for about six months and then changed to the white. I think the white gives better light on dark rainy nights. Just my personal opinion.

There's no way that you've lost light with these. I would definitely try re aiming them

My girlfriend runs the blue ones and her lighting output is definitely a LOT better. I think that a complete wiring harness would really boost the output of these bulbs. My harness with my old IPF FatBoy X4 in blue were like 3 times brighter.

Well started having issues with my passenger light. It keeps on going out. It's not the bulb. If I jiggle the h10 connector they come back on. Shielding on my wires look good and no pinches. The contacts look clean, I'm gonna spray some contact cleaner just in case. If this doesn't work any ideas? Maybe hit Dave up for a replacement connector?

I had the same issue with my drivers side. I emailed Dave and he had two new wire harnesses mailed out to me. Replaced the drivers side and was good to go for two days and it went out again. Like yours I could manipulate the connection around and the light would flicker on and off etc.

I tried using wire ties to keep the connection tight and a few other things with no luck. I finally took a couple pieces of black/electrical tape and rolled them up and put them inside of the plastic coupler, 1 on each side of the prongs so that it would hold the connection apart just a little bit. I put a wire tie on it and it has worked ever since (4-5 months now).

Just for reference its just my drivers side and it was two different harnesses, passenger side has been good to go with no issues.

Good luck,
Mikey

I think from what I've read I'm going to get the white ones.
