Fog Lights

Hey whats going on guys ? I have an '04 SSM TL I'm gonna be installing some accord OEM fog lights and I'm kinda indecisive of what color to get the bulb they are going to be HID. But dont know if I should match the headlights my headlights are 20000k (custom blue) or should I get yellow fog lights (3000k). I would really appreciate any input and If ya have pics that would be awesome.

20K? Wow, I can't imagine how horrible that light output would be. I guess it all depends what you want. For performance i'd definitely go with the 3K especially if it's foggy and or rainy a lot since the yellow isn't as reflective. If you're just going for looks/color then go with the "20K."

What I really don't understand is why some people get the blue tinted HID's. The color band should be more than satisfying for color factor. but to each their own. Goodluck man.

If you look through "My transformation" thread in the photo gallery. I have pics of my custom 3000K JDM ES300 foglight retrofit. I've always been a fan of contrast and the yellow looks beautiful.

20k??

anyways for an HIDs try the raptor kit from ddmtuning.com. I have 6000k and it matches my 6000k kaixen bulbs well.
The 20k may be a bit difficult to find/match, id go with 3000k or just replace your 20k bulbs too

my suggestion??
get these
http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/HI...ir-264-94.html

and these
http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/Ra...it-102-85.html

just pick something that matches, imo 20k is
idk how you see at night........especially in the rain

I wouldn't do the yellow on silver, go for blue. I have 6000k yellow on my TL but it's black. Go for the blue matches way better IMO. Also look at some pics of silver TL's with different fogs it will give you an idea.
