Seach for "6000K D2S" and "6000K H1." BTW, the "K" doesn't stand for kilo, it stands for Kelvin, which describes the color temperature.

6K is infrared and is invisible.

Some common examples.

1700 K: Match flame
1850 K: Candle
2800 K: Tungsten lamp (incandescent lightbulb)
3350 K: Studio "CP" light
3400 K: Studio lamps, photofloods, etc...
4100 K: Moonlight
5000 K: Daylight
5500 K: Average daylight, electronic flash (can vary between manufacturers)
5770 K: Effective sun temperature
6420 K: Xenon arc lamp
6500 K: Daylight°

Kelvin is represented as a "K" and kilo is represented as a "k" so yes 6k would mean 6000. therefore I only left off the unit because I assumed it was known but if you would like i could say 6kK


anyways, do u have any specific recommendations on brands u like more than others and whatnot

Here's a look at my '06 projectors. Philips Ultinon 6000K D2S Hi/Lo, PIAA Ion Yellow Fog



Low beams...



High beams...



One tip for you guys installing these lights... Make sure you snap this end cap in place after installing your bulb. You have to turn it very hard, then you'll hear a snap. If you don't do this, it will slide back over time and your headlight will go out.



Hope this helps...

sweet pics jb. just what i was looking for. someone with blue fogs please post pics. i want to see some that match the 6000k ultinons best...

dabomb

6000K H2S should match 6000K H1 perfectly

problems matching with the 03-05 setup is that the stock K isnt exactly known and is projected at 4350 which is next to impossible to find for H4 fogs

ya i have 4300K oem d2r so i put in 4000k fogs. not even close.

dabomb

yeah even 50K is a big difference....300 is almost a different HUE entirely.

I have Hella YellowStar H1's in the fog lights from www.rallylights.com. They aren't the deep yellow of the PIAA's.

I'd be comfortable with any name brand H1's such as Philips, Sylvania, Osram, PIAA, Hella, and even Nokya (I got several sets of those off ebay with good results).

To fill my housings with bulbs, I spent about $60 for OEM 4300K Philips D2S, $12 for the fancier Hella H1's (you can get clear ones much cheaper and bluer ones for more money) and about $12 for the mirror turn signal and city lights. You can get bulbs for less than $100 if you don't want the fancy ones.

Philips Ultinon 6000K's are much more expensive.

Remember that the bluer the light or the higher you go from 4300K, the less light is actually output. That goes the same for any bulb with a coating, such as yellow or blue.

^ i.e. Dan's 10,000K bulbs that give visibility of 3.6' and along with the windshield tint, about as much light as a bic lighter.

Right. I had 10,000K's in my old lights and hated them. I couldn't see squat.

I was being honest when I said that that was all the money I had to spend... now you know why

;-) I have to get all parts in hand ... gotta do something with the strip on the side too.
