I have a HID kit in my garage that I'm planning to install in the fog lights next week. 6000k to match my headlights.

I converted the Fog Lights to DRLs (Daytime Running Lights).

To use them as Fog Lights, I turn on the Parking Lights which turns off the Head Lights.

I will take a pic tonight. The bulbs took about 30 seconds to swap (plug & play). They look great. If you want even more lumens (1200 per bulb) you can get these (were not available when I replace mine).

Their temperature is 5K kelvin, pure white. If you want yellow you can get overlays (looks great). They can be removed at any time and new ones can be reinstalled.

Unless you changed the HID bulbs the OEMs are 4300K. The 5000K is a very close match. 6000K will be blue. Look at mine, they are OEM HIDs with 5000K fogs.

Just remember, the higher the Kelvin (temperature) the less lumens (brightness).

Best HID bulb on the market (dropped some coin)!

6000K are too blue to me.
