the 3k would be the yellow? and 6k has a slight bluish look?

also wanted to kno style wise how that would look any thoughts? i usually see red cars with yellow fogs.

Yes 3k is the fogs. It would be the most functional set up too as the yellow cuts through fog the best. And 6k is white with a bit of blue. I wish I had a pic of mine to show you. I went 6k/6k and love it.

And as far as looks I think it would look good, and function awesome.

3k - Yellow
5k - OEM white
6k - Pure White
8k - Blueish White

Technically 4300K is the main OEM color temp. I use 5000K and they're pretty much as white as it gets, with 6000K starting to have a blue tint and 8000K is more blue than white. Of course if you buy cheap kits the colors will probably be off a bit.

5k is the sex

If you want to be a cool kid go with 30k fogs

Get 30k.. they are useless, but hey the point isn't to see a **** ton .. its to blind others. Zep

30k is the same light output as stock, they were far from blinding Any HID in the stock housing headlights is going to blind people though.

i had 8k in my stock housings when i vought the car and man i always got the high beam from other people haha. i took them out when one ballist went bad, but im gonna order some new ones shortly.

If you get 55 watt ballast then the 8k look fine. That's what I have in my gen1's and they don't look bad at all.

I think anything over 6K is ricer. No need to have blue/purple/pink headlights, looks stupid to me.

I have 6k fogs and 6k headlights.

Lol I have 30k because it matches my blurple theme in my fogs lol

damastah

agreed. but 30k is an exception.



id say go 5k fogs, and 6k headlights

or 4.3k. 4.3 still looks a lil dull then 5k.

3k imo is what hondas put on there car...

3k might not look bad, but i would never, its tooo rice. got ruined by all the hondas.....

every now and again i see a nice lexus, or bmw with yellow fogs, and im like damn... those are sexy as ****.


its up to you dude...... hopefully you can rock it!

Here is a comparison of Halogen vs 6K in my 3rd gen's. Hope this helps. Pics are in my garage cuz it's freaking cold out in MI right now. I personally like the 6k as they are bright and almost like the sky when the sun is out.

That's only because the higher wattage washes out the color making the 8000K look more like 6000K.

Yes..?
