I'm thinking i might pick up some aftermarket aircraft landing lights to replace my fogs. I know my dad had em on some of his cars a long time ago.
I'll be able to light up the road 5 miles down

I was told by a rep that if you go any higher than 4100k which is OEM you lose your luminesent which is your light output..... if you go like 8k or higher you will defeat the purpose of having HID's the output on the reg. halogen is just as bright, but the color you get from 8k or 12k is just giving you a bright blue or purple, and it's no good for output.. so the highest you want to go is probably 6k. I could be wrong ! but I compare my 4100k with my freinds BMW which had after market hid 8000k bulb and my light out put was much greater than his.. but his color gave it that blue / purple hue..... which I like...
BTW I just order a set of Phillips 6000k rteplacment hid bulb for 250 shiped I just want to see what it will look like in the CL.

At 6000k, you are getting about 2800 lumens compared to at 4300k at 3200 lumens. Now imagine at 8000k and beyond.
MisterMehoff, I don't think this is a mod for you. You should instead use the $250 and buy an icebox in which is gives you performance and in a way...looks also. Also...do not buy some cheap generic HID bulbs...I've seen 6000k that looks more like 8000k...be wary.
