Currently I have factory HID low beams. Is there any reason to upgrade these bulbs? MY fogs are non HID factory as well. I guess I am just wondering if anyone has gone with aftermarket bulbs and if they are worth upgrading. Also, is 8000k too blue? I'm not looking to have an obvious aftermarket look...
Any input is appreciated.

I am guessing that the 8000k low beam will look pretty identical to the 8000k fog. While it may be obvious aftermarket, I don't think it is too blue for a lowbeam. Heres a factory lowbeam vs. 8000k fog shot.

Thanks man. It was actually your fog light post that had me thinking about this! I was amazed at how good the HID fogs turned out for you. I love the color of the 8000k. It made me think about upgrading the low beam bulbs...
