should be closer to 2800k for the fogs.
use halogen in fog lights. HID is overkill and will decrease already low visibility in low visibility (fog) situations.

How would HID's decrese low visibility? Perhaps if they were hyper white but there yellow

Rep Power: 0 yeah, they're 9006 bulbs, but because i just wanted to see what they would look like since the bulbs i got were bunk.
the low beams are hid, but they're 8000k so its way bluer than necessary, looks kool, but not that functional, just looks real nice in the snow.

Rep Power: 0 Looks good to me! I want to get some yellow fogs put on my ride, but don't even know what setup i would want.
Are both the fog lights using the same bulb? They look different colors to me. Or is it a comparison? Anyways the 8000k looks nice, have you gotten pulled over for them at all?? Cops over here are picky about that stuff. But still looks cool.
