I apologize ahead of time if this topic has been discussed previously but I recently installed the DDM 3000k for my lower fogs(manufacture date: 1/11) this past weekend and im not really happy with them. They look like 5000k from a straight on view but is yellow when its hitting the ground. Has anyone recently installed a pair of ddm 3000k who could post a pic of how yours look? did i get a defected set? I will get pics up tonight once the sun is down to show you what im talking about.

 

They may not appear that yellow when looking into the fog housings because of light refraction. If you're just going for looks, you could always apply some yellow vinyl film to your fogs. I did mine a few weeks ago and have a bunch extra. I can send you some if you want.

I don't have the DDM 3000K in my TL, but I had some on my previous car in some aftermarket projector fog housings. They did look pure yellow in those fog light housings, however the light is much more focused in a projector housing than in a halogen reflector housing.

 

Do you have the Accord fogs retrofitted? If so, that's the reason why. I have the same thing and at first, I thought they sent me the wrong kit. The thing is the Accord fogs are aimed higher and to the periphery than 07+ fogs. Therefore, they look white-ish, but if you look at them from an angle to the side, you'll see that they are yellow. I don't think there is a way to aim them towards the center, but you can aim them lower.

At night, they do the job and do look very yellow from an angle, but from the front they look like halogens with higher intensity and a slight yellow tint.

 

yeah, i knew someone was gonna suggest the yellow film method, i was trying to avoid it since i dont think yellow fog lamps on an AM would look good but if thats what i need to get the look i want, i guess so be it lol

ill send you a PM regarding the extra film you have. Interested.

nope, i have a 08 front end. Do you think the silver shield that wraps around the bulb inside the fog lamp housing as to do with anything?

 

Do not use film because it will burn it, telling you from experirnce with my old accord.

if they are 55w hid kit,that would be your problem, it needs to be 35w kit and if your still not happy there is nothing better (more yellow) than NOKYA yellow bulbs in my opinion

 

yeah thats what i was afraid of..

to answer your other question, its the 35watt kit. I had nokya yellow previously and i must say they are really nice and really yellow. I was expecting the HID's to at least have some yellow from a straight glance :/

 

I have that kit and it looks great. 35w kit that is, on retrofitted accord fogs with blazer projectors.

 

Mine does not look even close to that..

 

I have had both a 55w and 35w kit in my car. Both looked white when viewed straight on, however, on the ground you can clearly see the yellow light.

The 55w will wash out some of the yellow color due to the higher intensity wattage. 35w definitely has a richer yellow, but the throw of the 55w is significantly better.

 

I have the exact same kit as you in my fogs, and mine also looks exactly as yours.
To be honest, I prefer it that way and it really gets the attention of a lot of people (good attention).

 

I'm yet to buy the yellow Fog Light bulbs i wat to replace stock but after looking at this thread I'm gonna stick with 2500k-3000k Halogen bulbs. I'm just gonna go from the stock 35watt H8 bulbs to 55watt halogen bulbs on Ebay I found.

 

does 3k hids in fogs actually help see through fog and rain better compared to halogen in fogs?

 

Looks like my car LMAO, Yeah mines look just like this. Only the floor and sides light up yellow and str8 on they look like yellowish halogen OEM lights. Im going to add the Vinyl to mines since I want them yellow all the time. You could get retrofitted projectors which will make them look more yellow. You can test them buy just placing ur 3000K bulb carefully (since of course they don't fit right) in ur Headlight Projector to see how they would look before doing this DIY. I may go Projector Retrofit later on when i get the Aspec Kit. Im just tired of taking the dame Bumper all every-time i change something in reference to lights on my car

 

I don't know what the stock wiring harness is rated for, but, you want to be careful that stepping up the wattage doesn't hurt anything.

I ran 55w HID kit in my fogs, with no relay harness, having no issues for over a year. Only reason I moved to 35w HID kit was my connections got corroded from the shit weather here in Ohio.

 

i have the ddm tuning 55w 3000k...mine were the same yellow on the floor...white looking when looking at the foglight...i threw some yellow film on it and it satisfies me.....no prob with the film melting here

 

i was thinking if opening up the shield around the bulb would do anything. probably will blind ppl lol

 

Yeah you dont want to do that. I had actually done that to my 6k hid bulbs and instantly noticed people high-beaming me all the time, even when i had them on during the day light

I got tired of that and even customizing a shield around the bulb made no difference. I searched for fog light projectors on ebay and ended up buying a pair to retrofit. I couldnt have been more satisfied, the output is wherever you want it to be and away from people's faces
