yuck, purple.

you know those have VERY low actual output right? comparable to halogens. Has to do with the color temperature of the bulbs being far too high, trading off for actual lumens of light output.

rest of the car looks clean though.

not feeling the purple fogs. i guess you're doing it just for attention/looks, but the fogs on our 98-00 do play a key role when it comes down to visibility (so you should stick with 5k/6k at most). heck, my fogs are brighter than my low beams and definitely helps me at night.

I researched and had determined that the purple (which looks like a deeper shade of 12000k) lights wouldn't really produce as much output. I went along with it anyways since I wanted to set my car apart from the immense ocean of 3000k/Yellow fogs and my favorite color is purple.

Also, nice ride morillest4, interesting choice of wheels, though your car appears to be taking on a sportier route.

you basically lose all brightness/illumination gain after 5300k, but being as they are fog lights it wouldn't really matter. doesn't look bad imo.
