I am going to be sending my foglights to FBM for the HID kit and I was wondering what are some of you running in your fogs? I have 5K headlights and was thinking the yellow 3K fogs. Anyone else? Pics? Thanks ---Russ

hes doing 8k for heads and fogs for me. 5 or 6k head with 3k fogs would look cool

If you have 5000K headlights already stick with the same for the foglights, even FBM recommends that but it's your vehicle your choice.

I think only one person has gone with 3K fogs before and that owner sold his car to another member on the site here.

Are you trying to go for a look or function?

3000k is the way to go. In my opinion, respectfully, I think the matching head/fog light looks like crap. 3000k gives it a functional, refined and different look.

BMW 5 series (so you can see that it still ooks good on bigger, 4 door sedan/luxury cars)

Personally I like a unified look.... 5k or 6k for all the lights in front.

If you are looking for more function than cosmetics go with 3k in the fogs and 5k or 6k in the headlights. 3k fogs will give you more light output than 5k or 6k.

yea I'm going for function, I like the look of the 3K also. Jim I have the lights out just gotta get them boxed and I will be mailing them to you with the LED bulbs also.
