Installed HID foglight conversion kit tonight...
It was surprisingly easy. I was done in about 15 minutes.
Then the battery died, and it's the second time it happened, so I said screw it and went to pick a Yellow Top. I needed it for the system, anyway.
I'm extremely happy with it, but since the kit was only available with 8000K bulbs, it looks like I'll have to upgrade the headlight bulbs to 8000K, as well.
Is it alright to use 8000K bulbs with the stock headlight system? The foglights make the headlights look like regular halogen bulbs.

8000k is such garbage in terms of light being put on the road. Cars that are stock with HIDs use 4100k usually. 8000k is too purple, it looks nice but doesnt provide enough light output

It gives a nice blue look and glow. I personally will go back from 6000ks to 4300ks and swap them every so often. I dont want blue blue like 8000ks. The hids draw a lot more power in the beginning so it might be working with that where it drained the battery.
