    HID Bulbs in JDM Fogs.

    Question,

    Which do you think will look better? 8K heads w/ 3K fogs or 8K Heads w/ 8K fogs? They will go in an Old style VR4 Front.

    neither. 8000K loses too much luminosity (brightness) and gives poor performance. stick to 6000k and under; OE HID is always between 4250K and 5500K for a reason.

    If you want to keep the fogs visibility, then go with 3K. If you are going more for looks, then go 8K.

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    x2...if you do go 8k though for the heads stay with 8k for the fogs. 6k and under will go good however with the 3k as far as appearance. it will also serve as the best lighting quality
