I'll be ordering 6000k HID D2S bulbs from Brabus today and I was wondering what you guys think about yellow fogs. Should I get 3000k or just match the fogs with the headlights? Also I've read around and found out that some people had problem color matching 6000K headlights with their 6000K fog lights. I think some people said their fog lights appeared to be brighter than their headlights so they went with 8000k for their headlight's. True story?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

The reason fog lights look brighter than lowbeams when you use the same temp rating bulbs is because the the fog light housing is a reflector whereas the lowbeams use a projector casing. Lights from the fog lights are dispersed so they look brigher compared to lights from the lowbeams which are more focused.
