Getting HID
Any suggestions on HID i should get? What brand or anything? i was thinking about 6000K.
Will i need to buy the kit since my car already comes with xenon lights thats what i was told on here that i wouldnt have to.
I want to get my fogs done too but i know i am going to need a kit for that job.

your car comes stock HIDs. is there any reason why you're changing them? stock is 4300K and i wouldn't go anything over 5000K. the higher you go in Kelvins, the less light visibility on the road. as far as brand, PM excelerate (vendor) and he'll be able to tell you what's decent.

If you want more light visibility, then i'd suggest getting nothing over 6000k, as LeeDan00 have said. Some people, like myself, drive on lighted roads most of the time and prefer higher K's just for the looks.
Since you mentioned you lived in places that's foggy, I would say do 5000k or 6000k for your low beams, and 3000k for your fog lights. It'll look very nice.

I wouldnt go for any thing over stock. Especially if you need max viability. There is a difference between 6k and 4300, especially when you are out of the city and on roads without street lights.

I have a tl type s and i have the stock HID lights right now and the stock fog lights which are a yellowish color. I want to change the headlight bulbs to 6000k and i know i wont need the whole kit because it already comes with stok HIDs, and i wanted to know if i could get 6000k bulbs for my foglights too or would i have to get the whole kit to convert to 6000k hid fogs?? Also if had tinted headlights, and then got the 6000k bulbs for my headlights will the brightness decrease significantly....i ask this because ive heard that tinting the headlights dimms the brightness a little
