Yeah, they have a little blue in them. The pictures don't really show the true color of them. I got 5000K fogs thinking they would be a close match to my OEM HID's, but they were obviously more blue. So, I switched my low beams to 6000K, which is a closer match to my fogs. In person, the headlights look more blue than the fogs, which just look white. I'll be switching the fogs to 3000K soon anyways.

btw, night shots with a nice cam like a D40 can be tricky. looks a lil grainy from your exposure time being too short.

i like the look.
Thanks. Yeah, I didn't really know how to use any of the functions on the camera and I'm definitely not a photographer. It was a lot of fun taking the pictures though. I could see myself getting into it. I'm actually thinking of getting a Nikon D90. Costco has a pretty sweet deal right now.

I like the 09-10 rear gfx, however I don't think that I will put anything on the rear. I think that a rear lip will hide my exhaust too much and I like how the exhaust sticks out without a lip.

Depends on your tire size, however you will probably want to mod your fenders in some way regardless. With my setup, I'd be able to get away with just shaving my fenders and not rolling.

As stated above: 5000K
