What temp are those? The fogs look more blue than the headlights. I like tho

I'm planning on upgrading my headlights and fogs to HID in the near future but am torn as to 35w 5k, or 55w 6k. I don't necessarily want a blue tint - I like the bright white of around 5k. I've seen the 55w setup washes out the color a bit so a 55w 8k setup looks very similar to a 35w 6k setup.

thanks guys, the hids are 8k temp. and have a 2550lm output. I love em! got a steal on them. this summer I plan on doin much more. you can't really tell but the right parking light is an LED bulb it has like 20 LEDs but I'm pretty disappointed with them, they are not as bright as the stock bulbs, plus my turn signal blinks real fast like the light bulb is out so stock will be going back in them...anyone know where I can get some good ones?

speedometer lights

Hey, the orange speedometer and rpm gauges, are they orange because of the light bulbs or because there is a tint in the plastic? I would like to make my gauges bright white. just need hyperwhite led's?

fogs are MUCH easier to install than headlight bulbs.

i did my headlight conversion first, then the fogs. i also have the same bulbs in the license plate lights.

Go to www.autolumination.com I just put in 60 LED switchbacks and they are really bright, even the 20's they have are bright. And you need to install resistors to get rid of the fast blink problem. (you can get them from the site as well) You'll need 2 6ohm. Check my (old) sticky for info...

And all the newbs, please read up in the stickies, there's a lot of info there that would prevent all the repeat questions!!!!
