Absolutely brightest bulbs.....ever.

Ok, I want to make the brightest front end ever. I'm not planning on actually driving down the highway with it but just to do it. I'm looking for the brightest fogs, headlights, cornering and anything else you guys can come up with. So, what bulbs?

Go with full HID kits in the headlight and fogs.....you won't even be able to look directly at the front end

but all this would be pointless unless you made projectors in each housing, b/c the glare is crazy

i've got 8000K just in the fogs...

don't run overwattage bulbs. they are crap, they will burn up your wiring, and they're just a really bad idea. save your money and put some hid projectors in your oem housings.

I had 8000k Hanabi HID, and it is really bright! If you want overkill you can get HID for the headlights and foglights.

The higher the number (in Kelvin ratings), the less lumens you get, which means lower light output on the ground. Kelvin ratings have nothing to do with brightness. OEM 4100K HID bulbs are rated at 3200 lumens while the Ultinon 6000K (5800K in actuality) is rated at 2400 lumens. Imagine what lumens will a 8000K or 10000K kit will give? Not much difference from a 9005 highbeam bulb, which is rated at 1900 lumens.
