Hid ?
I got me the slim ballast HID kit from DDMtuning. I ordered the 8000k H11 for the headlight and 3000k 9006 for the foglight. I took it to a shop to get it installed. They installed the headlight one but said that I got the wrong bulb for the foglight. Isnt the foglight the 9006/HB4 bulb ?
Also the 8000k to me barely looked brighter than my stock HID. So was thinking of buying a 10000k or 12000k. Is 10000k a big difference from the 8000k ?
Thanks.

So 9006 is the right size ? He said I needed a D4S bulb, I was thinking what ?? I have the factory stock 4300k HID and it pretty much looks the same. I thought it would have a hint of blue since my friend has a 8000k HID but not DDM and it has a hint of blue.
So the regular 9006 from DDMtuning should fit in the foglight right ? Just gotta make sure before I buy another one.

The higher you go for the HID, does that mean that it produces more heat too ? Like does a 8000k produce more heat than a 10000k ? Im a noob, and just wondering cause my inside of the headlight is showing signs if bubbling.

D4 is what you need for your factory hid low beam. H11 for low beam non hid headlamp. 9006 is your foglight correct. Most quality hid bulbs like philip ultinon run 6k on D4. Or garax has 6k & 8k in d4s. Higher you go the less you'll get for lumen to see on the road. What years is your IS?

All factory HID's are D4S.
Sounds like he either doesn't have factory HID's, if the H11 kit worked for the lows, or they used your H11 kit for the fogs, gave you back your 9006 kit, and told you to get D4S bulbs for the headlights. The second seems likely.

10k will have less then 8k light output. The HIGHER you go, the LESS light output and it becomes more blue.
55watt 8000k DDM is super bright and pretty much crisp white.
Did you order 35w or 55w?
