why is your fog and low beam color seem different in the pic? it seems the fog is more bluish/greenish. did u use different brand but the same output (8000k)?

That's becuase the fogs arent projectors like our low-beams. It's the same kit and same 8000K outlet...when looking at the car with the lights on, the low beam looks to be more of 6K rather than 8K but on a wall or while driving, it looks like its 8. But the answer your question, its mainly becuase of the projectors

isnt your user name on clubrsx the same as this one? i'm tuner-stop off clubrsx lol..yeah man the type-S was a monster in speed next to the IS250 but who cares, even with a drop on my lex, it rides so smooth as if it was stock, a drop that low on a type-s feels so bad lol. How do you like the lex vs the acura?
