Opinions Needed on lighting

Ok, I am doing another set of DDE's with some hid's in the fogs. I just wanted to get a concensus on what everyone thinks.

First, going with 5000K bulbs with the DDE's and I am not going to paint the housings black like I did last time. BTW, the black housings will be sold to anyone who wants them. They are malibu cleared and will include the DDE's. Looking to get at least $200.00.

Now for the fogs:

1st option: 3000k H3 HID's

2nd option: 6000k mini H3 HID's w/the yellow capsuls.

3rd option: 6000k mini H3 HID's or standard H3 HID's, left alone.

Let's hear it!

2nd option. You can't beat the yellow fogs! (unless of course you go HID with them ).

That's true. The yellow fogs are catching on now though, almost everyone wants to have them.

Alright, didn't know how to start the poll. That being said if someone wants to start one, that woud really cool.

As far as the fogs go, I like the yellow look also. So now the only question is, which wil look better:

1. 6000k mini H3 HIDs with yellow capsules

2. 3000k H3 HIDs, and from what I hear (Matt @ Umnitza) these things are really yellow.

3. 3000k mini H3 HIDs with capsules. However, I don't know if they make minis in the 3000k color temp.

Really depends on whether your willing to take his word. If you want to look at the yellow fog light comparison thread, Dr. Roy's pic is with HID fogs and yellow capsules. They look HOT. I'm not sure i've seen a pic of the 3000k h3 bulbs so I'm not sure if they are that yellow. Not trying to sell anyone short here, but the regular halogen bulbs are "very yellow" aswell and more people seem to think it can be better(and is with capsules). So it all depends on what you want to do. Spend all that money and hope they are as yellow as you want or check out the pic and KNOW how yellow its going to be.

I've seen every thread and viewed all the pics relating to this issue, just wanted to see a final concensus on what seemed to be the best setup.

I am leaning towards the HID's with either the 3k bulbs or the 6k bulbs.
