Cool looking but in Illinois I would get pulled over for sure if I had them!

I have 12000K on both fog and driving lights for awhile now but mine isn't purple like yours. Are you sure its 12000K? It looks higher to me.

I wish you luck! 12000 Kelvin is too high, and your visibility at at reduce significantly.
Please change back to 6000K which would make more visible sense

I have HID on both fog and driving lights, and got them all from a seller on www.bmwsociety.com. Easier to match that way. With a halogen, that is 12000K you will burn your wires and plug, and I've never seen 12000K halogen bulbs. Good luck getting it.

That may be because your lights are aimed a bit high from the looks of the last pic. Mistaken for high beams. The purple sure looks unique though!
