Hey guys i recently got a 6000k hid kit installed and still have the halogen fogs and im trying to figure out what temperature kit i should use for the fogs..

i want them to look as close to stock as possible n dont want em to look tacky as in its an 07 max lol.. lemme kno if u have pics

 

3k is what i recommend because you are spending a decent amount so why not get somethin that functions best for fog

 

4300K will look stock.

 

Not many places carry 4300k bulbs, though. And any place that does, be ready to pay top dollar. You'll probably have to shoot for 5000k, which are just a little bit more blue than stock.

My question is, why would you want to mix-match 6000k headlights with 5000k foglights? Why not match them, or run 3000ks?

 

6k up top and 3k down ftw! i have an 04 converted to an 08 with all oem parts, i put 6k in the headlight and fogs and 3k down in the bottom fogs!

 

i'm using 3000k hid fogs as well.

 

3000k also here ftw

 

Personally I think you should have them match. If you want to keep them close to stock why go with HID's at all for the fogs, just get hyper white bulbs......

 

ok from all your responses so far im thinkin bout just havin them match but cud some1 post a pic of theirs with the 6k headlights and the 3k fogs??

 

That's the route I took. Not satisfied. It looks far better then teh stock halogen's, but still doesn't come close to a set of HID's. Bulbs were close to $30, forget which brand, but the HID kits are only $20 more. I say go HID if you do anything...

 

Ive got an 04 with the factory HIDs. I just ordered an HID set for the fogs in 6000k. I wanted the contrast to show up on the road because Ive ridden with friends with matching headlights and fogs in bad weather and the contrast wasnt where it should have been.

 

simple.

if you care about seeing in bad weather (rain, fog, snow...) 3000k

if you only care about looks and don't care you wont be able to see anything in bad weather... get matching K.


and if you care but don't like the yellow fogs, try halogens in yellowish white or amber.




once again, 4300+ are useless in moisture. the light refracts. this is why they are halogen stock. they're just not that powerful, but help some when needed.

 

This is true because I do alot of night driving and when its dark and raining, my factory hids are pretty much useless so I end up having to use my fogs. I used to have 6000k HIDs in my old car (03 Ford Explorer) and those were much more effective in those same situations which is why I ordered the same temp for my fogs.

But you are definitely right, the 3000k are the best when it comes to rain/fog conditions.

 

Agree with both, the brighter the fog lights the more reflected light that is thrown up in front of you making it seem even harder to see! You can use them but proper aiming is critical to minimize light reflection from Fog, Snow, or Rain!

 

I just put 3000k in my fogs yesterday in place of 8000k and im loving them

 

I wouldnt understand why people dont go with 3k fog they look the best IMO and they work best in all kinds of weather. Why spend $60+ on 6k, 8k, 10k fogs when they dont offer you proper function of your fogs when you need them the most? I dont know maybe i care a lot about my safety or i drive in fog/rain often.
