piaa mirror chrome 7440

and i have piaa super white leds in my clearance strips that i will use for city lights.
ive been debating the fogs the most. i keep mine on all the time so i think the yellow will be too odd. 6000k might not be bright off to match the projectors so ill probably have to try 8000k.

Remember that degrees Kelvin refers to the color of the bulb, not the brightness.
A 4000k bulb will be warmer (more yellow) than a 4300K bulb. It doesn't seem like much, but the difference is noticeable.
If you're going to go with Philips Ultinon 6000K D2S bulbs, and you want the fog light to match the color of the 6000K low/high Xenon bulb, you'll want to get a 6000K fog light. The low/hi beams will be much brighter than the fogs, but the colors will match.
Low color temperature is the warmer, more yellow to red light while high color temperature is the colder, more blue light. Daylight, for example, has a lower color temperature near dawn and a higher one during the day.

Yellow fog lights actually work better as true fog lights, which is why I went yellow. As much fog as you guys get in Jax, that might be something to consider.

Ok what do you think about this: (i am not listing any details)
-Stock 4300K HIDs
-mirrored turn signal bulb
-6000k fogs
-light blue city lights http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...m=250091022362
The fogs are what im not sure about. I dont want yellow. Do you think 6000k would be cool with the 4300k projectors or should I get 4300k fogs?
