HIDS FOGS (which do you prefer?)

[nismogxs21]

hey every1

so im gettin ready to finish my hid upgrades but im stuck with my fogs... i already did my headlights with 8000k (lows)

im debating if i should put 3000k (yellow) or put 6000k in my fogs???

Need some major help deciding!!!

3000k fogs won't look that great because it will be white if you look at it directly but yellow on the ground. The 6000k bluish tint would most likely compliment your 8000ks much better than the 3000k.

The 3000k should be more functional but the 6000k will match your lows better IMO. Yellow cuts through fog better

i'd go with 8k fogs to match your lows.

right now, I got 6k lows and 5k fogs...will swap out 5k fogs to 6k bulbs after winter.

Guys, we've discussed this before (or maybe it was on the other forum). It doesn't really matter what color the foglights are when compared to light scattering - all visible light wavelengths are much shorter than the size of water droplets in the air (fog). Where the kelvin rating comes into play is with the actual output of the light. So although a 3000k or 8000k might look cool, you really should get 4300/5000k for the best output because it is closest to 'white' light, composed of all colors in the visible spectrum.

It's silly to put on 8000k (unless you have a show car that you don't drive at night) and actually use for driving lamps at night, not only annoying others on the road, but probably increasing your chances of getting pulled over.
