Not happy with them. Anyone know where I could get a better kit? something that will be a little more brighter?

the overlays are probably blocking some of the output, so for maximum output you should remove them.. either that or run 55w, but then you'll probably start melting stuff..

yea with 55w you will melt the lens. I think the yellow overlay helps it get that yellow look in my opinion..it doesn't block any light

Yep, without the overlays, 3k fogs look white to oncoming traffic and only yellow on the ground. Looks good.

Facing the car head on they do kinda look white at first but the color going onto the ground looks nice and yellow to me. The best angle was when you were standing next to the car and pointing the camera in the direction that the light was going. The color looked really yellow then. Not sure why you don't like them, they look decent to me. Guess I would need to see them in person to get a better perception of what you're looking for or think is wrong with them.

with overlays and 8k fogs it will look greenish for sure.

They sent my 3k bulbs in H11 instead of H8 and they wouldn't fit so waiting for some H8 bulbs.

I broke one of the H11's trying to put it in. the tabs are just big enough that it wouldn't sit flush and lock in place.

But the overlays look nice in daytime and with 3k's at night they have enough output to cut through fog.

I don't even run my foglights unless its raining or foggy.
