Default Need help please

I am in the process of preparing for paint and the 2012 headlight conversion. My question is: Does anyone know the lumen temp for the LEDs in the 2012 HID/LED Lexus lights? I would like get this answer and also find out what bulbs I need to get to make the low beam, high beam and foglights match. Bulb type and color please? I usually can find all the answers I need regarding my car but I have never done anything regarding lighting.

i think it will match either with 5000k or 6000k Ryan...5000k for the 2011 headlights, 6000k for the 2012 headlights...

Ryan I had both setup stock 4300k with the 2012 headlights they were a bit too yellow. now I have 6000k and they are a little bit blue compared to the 2012 headlights. i also heard that 5000k is a little bit yellower then the leds. i think its in between 6000k and 5000k. i'll try to take pictures tonight...
