What Color Temp are the HID headlights in the 2003 TL?

I have a 2003 TL with the HID headlights. I want to replace the fog lights with some DDM brand HID lights. I want them to be the same color temp as the headlights. The headlights look like 5000K (I put DDM 5000K 55w headlamps in my 2000 Accord and they look similar). Does anyone know what color temp the OEM HID lights are?

yes 4300 low beams HID
hard to find those for low cost so most run 5000K and love the improvement

A this point in the cars life you would be wise to replace the stock hid parts.
60-100 bucks gets a good reliable set of modern parts with new bulbs too
Same place can provide the FOG LIGHT CONVERSION to HID

Thanks

Thanks for the info about them being 4300K. The stock HID have not given me any problem so no need to replace them.

I picked up a set of HID for my Accord from DDM Tuning for under $50 They have lasted for years. My mom has that car now and they are still going strong.

the years have taken away lumens and varied from the 4300 color
at 10 years it definitely time for new bulbs

Don't have to wait for failure! (same theory applies to brakes)
the light output improvement is amazing, and with darkness at 5pm these days- great lights beat... still working lights

Ddm is one of the suggested places- they support azine too!

with new 5000s in lows and fogs you will have the desired balance
