10k for your low beams? and you claim seeing is important to you?
those are purple to anyone coming down the road,,not a cool blue~
and the actual white light your eye needs to discern objects on the road is not there

Get 5000k low beams (4300 was stock)

fog lights, yellow are 3000k the best for seeing in fog,
dont need HIDs for this use, too much light will bounce back off the moisture in the air= defeating the purpose of the lights

the easy way to see what is best for you- buy a set of Optilux (made by Hella)
at walmart for 25 bucks
they have 3 and 5k in mini lights, clear lens-yellow-ultra blue, different shapes.

easy diy install to the lower center grill, where they work best !
keep them all year, swap out to driving lights after winter, go back and swap for next ones to test...they even have one with dual reflectors and bulbs for both uses

or decide what combination is best for you and do the civic mod

5k low beams, 3k/5k fogs. too much of a high temperature and you'll actually lose visibility.

hey guys.. im just learning the #'s with HID's lol.. i dont think my low beams are 10k, they are pretty white, with a slight blue tint to it,, i tried showin with that first picture, and my headlight covers/lens are shitty as hell i need to restore them soon... as for the fogs, i think i like the yellow i was searching thru some pics,, im gonna buy the yellow lens 01-03 civic fogs.. should i just use the bulbs it comes with, or whats the best choice to make them look the best?..

@01tl4tl - yes seeing is important lol! dont mind my #'s in that first post.. my headlights just look really bright at night, no purple, barely even a blueish tint.. ( when i bought the car the guy said they were 10k.. but everybody tells me theres no way)...

i appreciate the helps guys, i learn quick..
