what is your low beam / fog combo ?

i've been running stock low beam / 6000k HID fog for ~ 6 months and now and starting to get the rice feeling

when ppl see my light at night they think "darn or rice" but i want a set up that will make ppl think "WOW NICE"

to me it's getting weird to have the fogs running at a higher temp than the low beam but just never thought about it until now

i'm thinking about 6000/3000 or 6000/6000

what combo do you guys think looks/performs the best ?

6K is kinda blue......If you want them to match, then go 6k/6k.

I'm doing 6k headlights with 8k fogs. Definitely an attention-getter...

For a while I had 8k bi-xenon's (our bulbs are not technically really just low beams), and 6k HID fogs. Recently one of my 8k bi-xenon bulbs blew so I replace it with 6k.

I loved the 8k 6k setup it was extremely nice! But the 6k6k with switchback + angel eyes is the perfect match.

Right now I'm running Switchbacks, 6K HID bulbs, and 3K HID Projector foglights. I thinking of selling my switchbacks and just get a set of LED amber turn signals, and putting the 4300K HID bulbs back in, their just so much brighter than my 6k.

Headlights: 5K Kraixen bulbs
04-06 Fogs: 5K Halogen Bulbs
07-08 Lower fogs: 5K HID kit/bulbs

I wouldn't want anything more than 5K, or less than 4.3K

It's awesome when I have all 3 turned on riding through pitch black back roads.

a few other Qs that somewhat related...

1. when driving with low and fog on in cloudy i see my driver side light's reflection on the back of front car.. but you suppose to see the passenger side reflection first if any right? since passenger cut off is slightly higher than driver.

2. when i park about 20 feet or so from a wall i see double cut offs on the passenger side, one is the factory cut off and the other is dim and under the factory.. something wring with the light?

i ll post some pic later today... if you guys have pic handy please post them too !

5000K and 3000K is sick. That is the setup that my friend is running and it looks awesome.

I like to match though.

OEM low, 6K HID on the OEM fogs, 6K HID on the accord fogs. the two 6K HID sets are from different sources and they dont look the same. the accord fogs are more white than blue.

This is probably a stupid question, but why do some of your cars have running light/turn signal yellow filters, and some people have white/clear? (I assume they blink yellow) is this a year difference, or a mod to make it clear? I searched around a little for it, but didn't find anything, sorry for the potentially useless question

I have stock "fogs" if they are fogs...

I don't use them though, I like having just one color.

^hey 04Komodo...do you have any pics of your headlights? Are they fully functioning projectors or just the lense/shroud cover over reflector? I've been thinking about retrofitting quad projector headlights... ze2o...I am running 5000K fogs in my 04-06 headlights...it definitely helps to have the headlights blacked out...as the stock have so much chrome to glare off of. It's a slightly lighter blue color than the oem d2s. Wish I had gotten the 4300k to be more matching tho.

I have 6k DDM bulbs in my bi-xenons, and they match perfect with my switchbacks. They don't have a blue hue to them like they would in regular reflector housings which I like because blue lights are ricey. I have regular halogens in my accord fogs to keep them functional, and nothing in my integrated fogs ATM, but I'm going to do the V-Led's white LED DRL kit in there soon.
