4,500 k H4 bulbs are gonna give you a White beam

5,000-6500 are gonna have more blueish tint to the beam

8,000-10 i guess will have BLUE light and above 10k will be like purple light.


H4 bulbs are what you need

Either get HID or stay stock. You won't be able to see as well at night with the coated bulbs.

MTecs are great on a clear night... On a rainy/foggy night, OEM would be better.

White = Crap in Rain
Yellow = Best In Rain

I even have to admit when its raining BAD, I wish I had some Bright yellow fogs.

Those are 194 mini bulbs. Can get the hyper white ones, but it's gonna look blue during the day. Polargs are good. In fact I've got a set lying around somewhere. I just unplugged mine cause I only wanted amber and the headlights showing.

I can get you silver coated bulbs so that you wont see the blue or orange...

Polarg is one of the best though...

So thats why i see some cars with YELLOW fogs...I never really liked the combination but now i might get some and only turn them on in the rain
