    Ya man, I love my 20K's.

    I bought them from www.highperformancebulbs.com.

    They're really bright and blue!
    You won't find anywhere cheaper than that website either.

    Those aren't 20K, 20K would be very purple. That's what happens when you buy cheap HID kits. The colors aren't actually what they claim.

    Trust me they are 20K, lights will usually have to be around 30k to be purple...from any website. That chart is never correct from the many bulbs that I've seen.

    They work awesome...cheap or not. Plus that website had choices for 30k and then purple lights.

    I got a plug-n-play set from SlimCubby, he's a vendor on here. They're great!

    x2, I've got a set of 5000K from Slim (he sells 3000K also), a little pricey but they work great. One of the cheaper places to get a set would be DDM Tuning but there have been mixed reviews regarding their customer service.

    I love my 3k's in the snow/fog. Can see much better with them on, headlights off.

    Do your hella's light pattern look like chicken feet?

    If you're sticking them in an all-pro bumper, they're kind of too high to really be effective as fogs, in my opinion. That aside, my OEM retrofitted fogs are the best fogs I've ever had. They have a wide, bright pattern with a clean cutoff and are very effective as fog lights.

    FWIW, I haven't had any issues with PIAA lights although I will say their customer service is horrible.

    I cut some wires here. Added some wires there.
    4300k fogs w/ 5000k heads

    I don't give a shit what Toyota intended my fog lights to be used for. I intend them to be used for added light. Fog is a non-issue.
