what i meant to say was.. whats the best hid color for our fogs to match the hid in headlight!!!


im thinking about going 3000k for the fogs ... any pics of any one who went yellow on a 7th gen,,,,? whats the best color for the 7th gen to match and not overshine the Hid thats in our headlights!!

post your pics of your hid in fogs!!!

 

i couldnt get it to match so i changed both the bulbs in the headlights to 8k and added a 8k hid kit to the fog lights.

 

pics?

looks kool!

 

I have the 3000K HID fogs but 6000K headlights

the fogs were a little low in these photos, they have since been raised some

 

bet your visibility is shot! i have 8000k for the low and fogs on my M and i wish i'd stuck with 6000k. oh well. looks hella cool at night though.

 

Your absolutly correct sir. The higher the K the less lumens the bulbs produce and vica versa. For vision purposes the lower the K the brighter/ more lumens. The stock 4300k are brighter than the 6000k but I think the 6000k looks nicer. Each person has to compromise between what temperature color they like best and the visibility they perfer.

This isn't my first go round with aftermarket HIDs. The first time I went with the 8000k. On the 7th gen max I wanted more visibility so I went to the 6000k and I'm pretty happy. I might go with 5000k if I decide to change them out. It's all a matter of opinion and nobody can be right or wrong.

 

my setup.. Headlight(low beam)-10000K (Kelvin) Color Output - Factory Skyline
aftermarket projector foglight - 3000K (Kelvin) Color Output - Yellow Blaze
heres just a pic of my blue demon eyes w/white LED park light and fog light

 

Is that the stock projector lens or did you change it out for the clear lens?

 

you talking about my headlight?

 

ive got 6k headlight & fogs..but for some reason the projector headlights dont seem as bright as my fogs but im gonna leave it the way it is

 

I suspect that is due to the projector lens focusing of the light, where the fogs just have some clear glass/plastic and the light is scattered

 

Yea, try ducking down and getting right in the path of the projector light and if you can still see to type after that, then tell me which one is brighter

 

yup!

 

stock projector. y u ask?

 

It looked like you did the clear lens mod to the projector

 

how did u get to do the demon eyes mod

 

You have to place an LED behind the projector, but be sure not to get in the way of the cutoff line. I am doing that as well as the clear lens mod pretty soon, waiting on parts to come in.

What I was talking about was replacing the projector lens and replacing it with a clear lens.
