HID Foglights + HID Headlight Combo?
Hey right now for my headlights I have 8K,10K and 30K (DARK BLUE) HIDs (Yes I know I have alot  ). But I am now going to get HIDs in my foglights and I was wondering should I go with 3k Bright yellow or match the headlights with either 8k or 10k.

If you actually want them to function them as good fog lights, yellow would be best.
If you just want them to look good, just match em.

Well, I bought bad Ebay brands so the ballast kept dying on me so I would just get a whole new kit in a different temperature.

i have a question about those who are posting the pics of the front end of their cars with these lights... can anyone post pics of them from by the drivers door so we can see the light output on the actual road to see the differences in that sense please?

Thats what he means. My kits are lifetime warranty .. no questions asked. and not made in china, tawian, etc.
Thats why the china HID kits on ebay are so cheap. They're a hit or miss item. you either get a good one or get a bad one.

The kit I have right now has a lifetime warranty, the ballast is great, no flickering at all. I was tired of dying Zentec ballasts so I got these ones. Bad thing is that the bulbs I got with them, (30,000K) broke when I got in my accident =\. Using my 10k's right now. Still can't decide on foglights =\

They weren't purple, they were completely blue.
Don't got a pic with them on the car but this is what it was.
And yes, It was incredible hard to see when it rained out.

Yep... +1 for your HID kits! The one in the F150 is still working great! That Bi-Xenon is amazing!
