    OK so I have a pair for 6000k HID projectors in my headlights. I now want to change out the fogs to a color that is other then the stock yellowish color and closer to my head lights. Now I really dont want to have to buy a pair of HIDs for the fogs (not only because it would defeat the purpose of having fogs, but also because its too expensive) but would like something that would as closely match my HIDs head lights.

    Any idea? :confused:

    The only way you are going to get even close to the HID is with HID, especially since you went with 6000k instead of the OEM 4300k.

    I'd suggest swapping out the fogs for an actual amber lamp so rather than clashing, it will contrast.

    Ya... if you just want "the look" you could pop in a set of warm white LEDs, but they aren't going to have the intensity that you probably want.

    I was thinking about doing the HIDs for the fog lights myself, but after speaking with my buddy, he convinced me to do yellow bulbs. Told me it defeats the whole purpose of having "fog lights" if they are HIDs. you want people to see you in the fog!!
