    What color HID's in fog's?

    I currently have 6000K in my low beams. I was thinking of either matching with the 6000K, like C ///M, as fog is not a big concern, or going with the 3000K. Opinions?

    Go with that would be in the 3000k range. They should appear yellowish. The longer wavelength is less likely to be refracted by moisture in the air.

    I considered these for a while but decided that it would be a BAD idea because of the design of our fogs. Without a proper cutoff and the nature of the lenses themselves it would be really irresponsible to run these at any time when you would be opposing traffic.

        Honestly, I have no idea. If they have a sharp cutoff and are ellipsoids like the low beams then it wouldnt be too bad but its still and akward angle.

        Besides, putting intense light that close to you causes your pupils to dialate (sp?). That increases your focal length but decreases your ability see all the low light conditions around it. That is why BMW uses that dull red instead of a bright white/green for the dash.

          agreed...however I got the kit for a good price so I figured I would give it a try...I guess I'll see what happens. I may even try to figure out a way to insert a small projector if need be...
