I'm planning on getting fogs pretty soon and I was wondering a good site where I can buy them from and how much do they go for? Another thing is that I was going to get them brighter(10000K)than my HIDs(6000K)would that look dumb?

It will be dumb because 10000k is not brighter than 6000k.

theres a huge difference in lighting. getting higher ks does not mean it will be brighter, it just means that its gonna have a different color. check google images to see the difference in each k

I think yellow fogs are fugly. No different than the yellow fogs that come on old old Mercedes and other cars... :puke:

But something nice would be in the 6-8k range - blue-ish-white.

:biggrin:

actually yellow light cuts through the fog much better than white light. so if you want functional fog lights then yellow would be the way to go. if you want to just go for a matched color look, go with 5-6000k, although many are of the thinking that 6000k fogs = rice (not including myself though, i like matched color look)
