stock 2018 Silverado Headlight bulb wattage/ kelvin temp

[No Tyme]

Can anyone give me the wattage & kelvin rating on the stock bulb? I am looking to upgrade the headlights and would like to know what I have to start with. The projector bulb I believe is an HID bulb which is a D5S.

I think they may be 25 watt, just not sure

When in doubt, google it lol. Rockauto had all this info minus the kelvin rating.

Almost everything will be a 4200k, don't really want to go above that because the light turns blue and not white.

Thank you. I do want a "Whiter" light so it matches the stock LED fog lamps, so I will be looking at going above 25 watts, but do not want to blind oncoming traffic like many LED lamps do.

Thank you!

I ended up purchasing a pair of these off Amazon... and what a difference these have made. I feel so much more at ease driving at night and not one person has flashed me. The light is whiter, signs glow off in the distance and even a wider spread of light on the sides of the road.

I'm very interested in your long term results. Please make sure to update this. I also have the D5S in mine and it's a 2016. I figure that the clock is ticking on mine after 6 almost 7 years and they will need replacements in the near future...

I am very pleased with these:

I have driven over a 125 miles so far in the dark and not one flash from other drivers. Given that they produce almost twice the light output than stock bulbs I am very please I made the decision to purchase these. They have a nice cut off unlike many LED bulbs.
