8K is such a waste of light I say never go over 6K and even then you are losing quite a bit of visible light. The only thing that will help you see in the rain at those kelvin rating would be your 3K fogs/drl!

I just did this mod yesterday. Took me around 5 hours to wire, and cut the bumper. Its not as difficult as most might say but, its time consuming.

I went with 3k hids since i typically drive ALOT ( across states ) I figure this would help illuminate the road a bit better.

Might I suggest forgetting the DRL module which seems to go bad often and put a 3000K HID kit in there and just follow my DIY

Ya I'm doing the bumper fogs too as we speak what im saying is rewire the switch and throw a set of hids in the OEM foglight space and use them like DRLs. It will cost the same plus it will be more reliable then the DRL module not to mention you have more control over when they are on.

match them to whatever your headlights are..

ive had both 6k and now i have 8k

8000k looks hot but im prolly goin back to 6000k because of visibility and im attracting way too much attention from cops with the 8000k
