I just ordered 3000k HIDS for my fogs but now I'm regretting the decision because I like the look of the yellow overlays. What do you guys think about using both the 3000k HIDS AND the overlays? Just looking for opinions :)

L M F A O!!! thanks for the input, exactly what i needed to hear. no overlaysOriginally Posted by mrg7243
i cant find overlays anywhere. i bought the bulbs. they are good. but i want the overlay for the daytime so my fogs looks yellow without them on.

Yellow hids sometimes has a bit of green to it. So be warned.
For yellow bulbs, I've ran the Luminics JDM yellow bulbs for close to two years. Good quality stuff AND I like the color it produced. Id say close to the lexus is300 yellow fogs that use a yellow capsule.
IMO yelloy overlays or colored glass is Fugly. Not trying to start a riot. I prefer a clear lens and then by surprise your hids light up in yellow. Just my 2 cents. And they might melt, i have a digital thermometer that works by infrared and once when I came home from a 20 minute drive I placed it rigjteon the surface and the temp was over 150 F.
Carl what color would you get if you run a 55w ballast on a 3000k bulb?
you can run you fogs parallel with the running lights, thats how mine are.
Carl mine have no green to them, they do when they are warming up but not after. Also during the burn in time they do have a hint of green. Ill post a nighttime warm up video tonight i think.
Yikes, I personally wouldnt run 55w in fogs but for the sake of the question vic, id say 3k. I know that the higher the watt, it washes out the color. For example, 8k @ 55w would look like 6k. I cant imagine any thing else giving a 3k look besides 3k if that makes sense lol
Im guessing your running something that is not ebay lol DDM? Alot of the cars here that run the 3k hids have some green to it. Not perfectly yellow, just a smidge of green.
I hope you used a relay.
Best way is to buy a 3k bulb never liked the 3k hid

well if i have the 3000k WITH the yellow overlays won't that completely eliminate any green whatsoever?
Not fogs in particular but overall what color would you end up with.
They were just saying you might melt the overlay.
Ahh vic, I read that wrong. Im not quite sure. Honestly, I cant say ive seen 3k at 55w. Ill do a quick googly for you.
first thing i saw:http://youtu.be/4sfa_4rS3nM

I guess you have to see it in person. Just wondering.
We did talk about this awhile go. No....walks away with tail inbetween legs. LOL I havent had the chance, and I want to get a relay box similar to a fuse box, with one 12v in and then wires coming out I can use for the trigger and what not. The 6g has a perfect one but i havent got one yet
