Default HID Kit Suggestions for Front and Fog Lights

Anyone have any suggestions as to what HID kit I should get? I am looking to get a kit for both my head lights and fog lights? I am also looking to get that bright white color, not blue. I want the same color for both my headlights and fog lights. What heat amount/k would that be?

Ive had real good success with Xentec HID kits, try to make sure you get the slim digital ballasts much smaller and easier to hide... Also the lower the kelvin temp the whiter the light, the higher the temp more blue they will get. I think the closest you might get to a match is going to be a 5k's (5000)

I'd recommend to stay away from Xentec.

Send XenonDepot a PM. They're a vendor on CL. They sell quality stuff and offer discounts to members.

philips, xenon depot, ddm tuning.. i've had all those kits and they turn out good.

2.5k bulbs= JDM yellow. kind of dark gold color
3k bulbs = golden/lighter yellow
4.3k bulbs= OEM temp. creamy white
5k bulbs = pure white
6k bulbs = white with very very little blue after warming up
7k bulbs = not that common but slightly more blue
8k bulbs = white with blue (it still looks pretty white but you can see the blue) p.s. i wouldnt go any
higher than 8k or else its gonna look too blue and the light output is gonna start to suck
10k bulbs = Blue no white
12k bulbs = blue/purple. has horrible light output and i think its mainly for the ghetto look
