Questions on Mods

Good Morning. Just wanted to know what everyone was running for HID kits and fogs and what they thought of them. Looking to upgrade my SL headlights and fog lights. Also, what are you guys running for CAI's and your thoughts on them as well? Looking to start modding my '16 and just wanted some feedback on some of the products. Thanks everyone!

Whats up. I was wondering the same thing. I don't know if I want to go full HID's Is there a way I can get just white bulbs to replace the halogen ones I have now? or do I have to get the full HID kit.

Halogens have limited color temp.

You can't get a true color temperature in a halogen that compares to HID or LED. 3200K is avg temp for halogens. The manufacturers bump up the color by coating the bulb but that reduces output. They compensate by increasing bulb intensity, which reduces the life of the bulb considerably. Here is an article that may help.
