What HID color?

So I just did the Accord fog light mod on my 06 today. At the same time also replaced the fog bulbs with a HID kit from DD Tuning. Everything works fine but the fog lights are noticeably bluer than the OEM headlights. I ordered it with the 6000k bulbs which I thought would match the headlights. Question is which bulbs from DD Tuning match our OEM headlights?

4300k as said previously. Probably a 5000k since I'm assuming your headlight bulbs are old and color shifted

thanks. Does anyone know if the H11 bulbs sold at The Retrofit Source would work with the DDM kit I have?

As long as the ballasts have AMP connections they should work fine. You won't find a better company for HID parts than TRS

4300K or go 3000K for yellow fogs, whatever you do don't go blue/rice.

Yep Im not really much into the ricer blue or whatever you want to call it. Just wanted the fogs to match the oem's. I should've done a little more research anyway I ordered 4300k bulbs.

I'd say anything above 6K is certainly ricer, 6K isn't too bad. 5K is the best.
