Just installed 6000K mains and 3000K fogs, rocks. (updated pics)

UPDATED PICS:

3000k fogs really rock.





Here is the view with the fogs and DRLs on. IMO, the DRLS look ugly with the fogs.... I have 3 options, remove them (but no drls in the day, but again, I always use the hids...), or buy amber superbright LED bulbs that would look better), or never use that light setting (parking lights only). Id like the fogs to come on as DRLS, would be easy, but it would require me to splice in the DRL wires again and I'm just done doing that. And I dont want to rely entirely on hids, so oh well, I'll just leave the switch on.

I was sick of people flashing me with the 4300k mains and 6000k fogs, they though I had high beams on. With 3000k, anyone who doesnt realize its a fog is dumb...

Looks good, but shouldn't this be in the Member's Rides section?

Looks Great. Was it a lot of work to do the change over? I had a terrible time trying to change the daytime driving bulb on mine.

I removed the 2 front wheels, bumper, and had quite an easy access to remove the headlights, disconnect the wire, and then it's a breeze. I should have done that for my hid fogs install because it was such a pain to do it without removing the bumper.

I think it's just other drivers with bad eyes or jealous that your headlights just look and project so much better, my maxima with stock xenon's gets flashed all the time, and it's 3 1/2 years old, the 300C I'm driving with 4300k headlights and 6000k fogs, I have been flashed by a jetta, an Eclass and an X5, all expensive german cars without the xenon option.

I think as long as your lights don't blind most of the oncoming drivers your fine

I am thinking of going towards 3K fogs, I have been running the PIAA yellows for ever but I think it's time to step up, I also just got the fog module from KP to run them independently...

As for the flashing, I think them seeing 2 sets of wht lights threw people off, now you should be good...

I wonder if 6000K is just a bit too blue and a bit ricer? Bah.... 4300K is a bit too yellow for me, so oh well. Maybe 5000K would be the best? If I keep switching HIDS I'll have a full set so ill keep it like that.

What do you guys think?

Maybe it would look better with amber superbright leds in the DRLs?
like eagle eye tower, second in the page. Anyone uses those?
