one thing about 3000k fogs.. the cars in front of u when they see u in their rearview mirrors.. all they see is yellow lights.

anyone looking at ur car from a distance will also see the same thing. no matter if ur headlights is 6000k or 8000k, all the light people will see is just YELLOW.

for me I'm cool with it and i love my 3000k fogs.. but just fyi

3000K are actual fog lights and will help you to see the road just in front of you much better, 6000K HID in that spot will not really help you see the road any better, it's mostly for looks.

+1, 3000k lights dont look good on all colors. dont think it would look good on a graphite color, which is why I dont have those fog lights

DDM Tuning makes great kits I heard. Get the slim digital ballast. I'm not sure if it will come with everything you need, might need an amp cable or w.e. it's called. Go with 35 watt though, I think 55watt would be overkill and glare the front of your car too much, there by restricting your vision.
