Headlight and Foglight combo?

hey i currently have 8k HID headlights and i am wanting to do my fogs but i don't know if i want to match them to the 8k or if i want to do another color i was thinking 10k or 12k or maybe even go down to 6k. any input is appreciated greatly

I'm using the stock lights in mine.
I like that the fogs are yellower than the headlamps.
They seem to complement each other, maybe the different temps light things differently and add up to better coverage.
I just like it

same color

if you like the headlight color , i'd say go with more of what you like..the same color......do you have any info on what brand hids you got ? where you purchased from ? easy or not too install ? and are you really happy with them ? there are not alot of posts about hids , so i'm looking for anyones opinion that has installed some.

I like in that chart all they did was change the tint of the same picture. Everything I hear about HID states the higher the number, the less usable light output.

Well, I seem to remember alot of discussion about them in the last couple of years on this board. When you do a search for HIDs, you get about 96 threads. Maybe there's something there for y'all
