Question Looking for Matador Red Mica owners with HID fog lights!

Hi guys!

I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading for a bit now. You guys have some sweet rides! I have had my IS350 for a couple years now, and want to upgrade my fogs to HIDs.

I have already put Garax 6000K bulbs in my low-beams. Now I'm deciding what color of fogs will look good SPECIFICALLY with a Matador Red Mica colored 2IS.

I know certain colors look better depending on the color of the car. I'm debating between 3000K vs trying to match my 6000K Garax bulbs in my low-beams.

So with that, I'm hoping to see some pics of Matador Red Mica 2ISs. Would love your help!!

Probably color matching looks good. Probably want to consider HID Projector because the team pattern for the fog wouldn't quite look right at it just scatters intead of a focused beam as compared to the low beam.

Default Yellow overlay film or no?

Alright. I went with the 3000K. Now the question is... Yellow overlay film or no? I saw it on a 2006 once, and wasn't sure if I liked it during the daytime... Although it looked amazing at night.

But, it's been a while since I saw it... So what do you think?

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Yellow film overlay is great in the night - but during the day - its a preference thing.... me personally dont think I like seeing the yellow when the light is off - but i still haven't decided fully for me - post up some pics when you decide
