I couldnt decide which so i bought them both and now need to decide, what do you guys think, the 8000s will match my headlights almost but the yellow will look sweet. The yellow i believe is 3000k

i have 3000K for my fogs and 6000K for my lowbeams. I think it looks pretty nice. 8000K would be good if you can switch on your foglights ONLY without the headlights on. I don't think it'll be that much brighter since you'll have your lowbeams on as well. i could be wrong though.

DAAN.

for better night time driving experience, most drivers would recommend the functional option of the 2 : 3000

First of all what is your goal of these fog/driving lights? Are they just for looks or functionality? If for looks and a "wow" factor buy whatever you want but if its for functionality, go for 6K. The higher you go on the Kelvin temperature, the lesser light lumen is emitted. 6K is the closest to natural daylight.

actually yellow(3k) cuts through fog better than any and is less reflective. i used to have 3k on my fogs... i got tired of them after a year but it did look nice.

i would match them if i were you.. its gives it a nice clean and mean look.

now i have 6k on lows and fogs and love it
