Thumbs up Hid help

What problems should I look forward to with HID fogs ? What are the best bulbs for the factory HID. I want 6500K for both headlites and fogs.
THANKS

I don't know what's a good choice for the fogs but going higher than the 4300K for the low beams involves a loss in visibility. 6500K bulbs don't light up the road as well as 4300K bulbs. So just be aware of that tradeoff before buying the higher Kelvin bulbs.

well to start off i think you will have to settle with 6000K i do not believe you will find a quality kit that is 6500K.

Also 4300K(stock headlights) I think is the best. They put those in for a reason but others will argue that 5000K is the best and so on. It comes down to personal preference.

The higher the number the less light output you have which is the exact opposite of what you should be going for with your headlights.

I have 4300K installed in my fogs to match my headlights and love the combination. It really lights the road up great. Use the search function as this has been addressed many times and most of the post have pictures. You can search my username i have a post on my HID fogs that has plenty of pictures with a few different setups

Lol if you want real clear of the street then go with head 6000k and fog 6000k. Lol if you want to go all purple all over the street then go with head 8000k and fog 8000k lol
