Factory HID headlight bulb temp?

Quick question...does anyone know off-hand what temperature the stock 2012 G37 coupe HID headlight bulbs are? Is it 4300k?

I'm going to order HID bulbs for the fog lights and want to make sure they match with the headlights

About 4300K is correct.

Wait a minute, you wanted to dump those fogs, when you got your car!!!

HID fogs just irritate the **** out of other drivers.

Get these, they match the factory headlights, and still look cool!!

Ok ok this is where you get to say, "I told you so!" lol...I changed my mind and decided to keep them.

Oh I've seen those in stores...they match the headlights better than the stock fog light bulbs? I don't really care about amount of illumination (fogs are just for looks anyway lol)...I just want something that matches

Installation...can I get to the fog light bulbs by going through the wheel well or do I have to remove the front bumper?

Buy them here:

Yes they match very well, notice the picture??
As far as Im concerned, unless Im in fog using PIAA 3000K yellow, it's just jewelry (bling for you youngins!!)

You can remove just the bolts that attach the inner wheel well to the lower bumper, and side of the undertray. and pull back.
IF you have a Cold air intake, at least the drivers side can be accessed from the top.
