Is it better 8k with 3k fogs or 6k and 3k fogs? Will the 3k give me more light than 8k headlights

8k DS4 Headlights [Might change to 6k]
8k(but looks like 6k) Foglights [Might change to 3k]
vLed 13 SMT City Light
LED 9005 DRL

I suck at taking pictures.

For those that got HID's for your fogs? isn't it bad if you like high beam someone rapidly since high beaming causes your fogs to turn off so you will be shutting on and off your balast frequently?

Not at the moment.. but you just reminded me that I need to raise them up just a bit...

They seem to have the same factory flaw of pointing "too" downward just like the Headlights...

Yeah.. I sold an organ on the black market so I can buy these... j/k...

This is by far the best MOD I have ever purchased, in my opinion...

The IS350 should just come with these from the factory, if you ask me..
