Default HID headlights and fogs

Hey guys,

Iam i correct by saying if i buy a HID kit for my low beams and also buying a HID for my fogs that they would match?

Also, are the low beams H11's and fogs 9006?

They will match if you get the same temperature i.e. 6000k low and fogs, 8000k low and fogs. It would probably be best to order both of the kits from same company/brands.....sometimes different brands' temperature/color can be a little off. GL.

Beware that putting a P&P HID kit into the reflector fog light housings will cause a lot of glare. For the best match possible, you should look into a projector retrofit. Check this thread out on my lighting setup: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...fogs-pics.html
