Yes they do look stupid. Either change the headlights to 8000K (all you need is to change out the bulbs), match the color of your headlights you have now with your fogs (4300K), or go 3000K on your fogs. For 6000K on your headlights, match it with 6000K or 3000K on your fogs.

In short, either match top and bottom or 3000K on bottom with whatever on top.

looks like you need the 8500 Kaixens to match up for your headlights...anything over 6000K is...meh...as far as usable light on the road

IMO, it'll be best to match lows and fogs. Since you got 8000K on the fogs, just go with 8000K on your lows. Some people will say you'll lose light output, but it's whatever you want.

I think headlights and fogs should either match K or the headlights should have higher Ks than the fogs

Are these are the ones that are like $28.99 with $28 shipping or something like that? I am planning on getting a set for the wifey's car and another set for my rear fog project That ebay seller has a pretty high rating..hella good deal, cheaper than fancy halogen bulbs that blow out early

lmao Zeus!!!

egay...it all about the economy these days....$56 shipped for an HID kit...got dammmm that is a steal!!!...I paid $200 for my HID fogs back in the day....this ish reminds me of when your old Uncle Jitty got his first 4 head VCR (VHS format) for like $300 and now they give them away for free at garage sales lmao...I don't even wanna talk about how much i paid for my 52" RCA rear projection TV back in 2001....sigh

I actually emailed that seller to see if I could a bigger discount on shipping..his ad states to email on multiple shipments...Uncle Jitty needs extra money for metamucil and some Depends ROFL

or DDM Tuning HID Kits... $70 for 35w, +$15 for D2R/D2S, +$15 for 55w, +$5 3000K.

From what I've been seeing lately... bro's in lifted chevy trucks have 8000K low's and fogs... it's disgusting IMO.

3000K fogs don't look out of place, IMO.
