3000k or 6000k fog light??

saeng · 11-21-2011, 04:21 PM

Hey whatsup all

I had my m3 rep front bumper on for 2 mouth now with no bulb on the fog light. What should I put 3000k or 6000k??

onesuperboi · 11-21-2011, 07:06 PM

You want a yellow or white color?

Elliott@DetailAddict · 11-21-2011, 07:33 PM

What color is your exterior? I have Sparkling Graphite and love the foglight yellow (3000k) I have on mine.

MPort13 · 11-21-2011, 10:03 PM

3000k has my vote! If you want really yellow (like I do for the fog/rain), go with the Nokya 2500k. If you want it to just look nice with your headlights, then go for the matching 6000k (which I assume your headlight must be).

cole92 · 11-22-2011, 01:07 AM

2500k, bump for usefulness.

kiwi29 · 11-22-2011, 02:36 AM

i have 3000k it's the best! like seeing life through hd!

I have the Hoen Endurance bulbs and they're perfect.

They're a dark yellow color as opposed to most of the washed out white-ish yellow bulbs on the market.

I was in the same dilemma not knowing which fogs to go with, i wanted them to originally mat the LCI angel eyes, but that never gonna happen because noone seems to know what color temp they are to get fogs to match.

I am now with 10000k for fogs, but thinking if i should go with 4300K or 6000K and just maybe tint the fog lights with yellow film so that they are bright and very yellow, because i like HIDs only because they are brighter then any regular bulb, but the 3000K hids are just not THAT yellow for me (already had on my car and now they are chillin in my trunk in a box lol)

not at all lol if you have an LCI with the bright ass angel eyes, and you found what hid actually matches the purplish hue of the angel eyes, im all ears lol i've been wanting to get them matched up

Elliott@DetailAddict · 11-23-2011, 11:38 AM

I dunno I like having the yellow contrast on the fogs on my color. Guess it's from all the JDM in my youth and EDM now

guru_method · 11-24-2011, 07:30 PM

All 3000k setup would look good including the angel eyes, but the yellow fogs only are not my taste at all, too much Honda for a BMW.

ichi_ban · 12-01-2011, 11:46 PM

Who sells a good deep yellow 3000k HID kit? Inputs?

hiter202 · 12-02-2011, 07:48 AM

HID in 3000K wont be as deep as a typical Halogen in 3000K. The output on the road will still have a yellow hue with a 3000K hid but if you look directly at the light it wont be as deep. Some people buy the lights for a look and others as a function so it depends on what your looking for.

To avoid errors its best to purchase a canbus HID system. A generic HID kit will likely throw errors and may not even turn on.

Above is 3000K Angel eyes (halogen) with 4300K Fogs HID

Below is 3000K Fog in halogen
