i would not recommend going with such a high color temperature (i.e. 10000k) for your fog lights. as another poster mentioned, the higher the color temperature, the lower the useable light output amount.

it would render your foglights as nothing more than cosmetic lighting, defeating its original purpose/function to provide additional lighting in low visibility situations.

 

So what do you think then, 8k fogs or 6k fogs with an 8k lowbeam?

 

corrected.

honestly, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

i can't recommend anything past 8000k, since the amount of light output beyond that color temperature rating is marginally useful.

also, note that, due several factors (design difference between low beam projector and fog light reflectors, H11 vs. D4S, component manufacturer, etc.), you won't get 100% matching color temperature/light output.

again, depends on what you're trying to accomplish. figure that piece of the puzzle out first, and the rest will fall into place.

 

I know I want 8k low beams FOR SURE... it's just the fogs... I want a little more blue than my low beams if possible, if not, then Ill go just pure white I guess

 

fixed again.

btw, the "k" stands for kelvin, the unit of measurement for color temperature. for this discussion's sake, the "k" does not stand for a factor of 1000. therefore, "8k" is not the same as "8000k", although your intent is understood. this is not to give you a hard time, but considering that i've pointed that out several times previously i want to explain why i'm making this point again.

/OT

as i've posted before, the more color (blue) your lights have, the less useable light your lighting system will output.

ultimately, it's your decision, but just keep that in mind.

also, as you reside in the state of california, and any technical variance from the california vehicle code (i.e. color of light output) may be subject to scrutiny.

best of luck with your decision.

 

ya I know it's 8k, my bad, ill fix.

And ya, the 8k for lowbeams are legal, I looked it up. And I dont drive with my fogs on, so I figured that dont matter if theyre legal or not

 

^ LOL! You're going to make projectdna's head explode. 8000K.

 

Im making him work haha

 

i've provided plenty of information for your consideration, so i'll consider your issues addressed.

as this is after the fact, for future reference please look through the 2is FAQ and use the search function before asking a question. many of your questions in this thread have been asked - and answered - by others before you, and it would benefit you greatly if you made the most of available resources.

thanks for reading, and best of luck with your decision.

 

I tried searching for my original question, then new questions spawned from that.

Thanks for your help though, I have decided on the Garax 8k's

 

i thought 4300k had the most "usable" light, and anything above wasnt actaully gonna light up more area or brighter, its just for the colour right??

im thinking of 6000k bulbs, mine came with stock HID's, but ive changed the parking light to LED's and they are bluer than thought, slighty more blue than my low's, but not too much difference, so 6000k should be perfect

wt do u think?

 

You mean 6k bulbs haha im catching on quick!

How hard was it to change the parking lights? I like blue! Picture?

 

i personally wouldnt do anything higher than 6000k.

 

And why is this?
