+3, get 6000k, 4300k looks yellow compare to 6000k or 8000k
It sure does. I got the 6000K HID fogs. Once I got them, my OEM HID headlights looked yellow. So I then got the 6000K HID headlights -- both from brabusw209amg who is a terrific seller and a terrific person.

I don't remeber the price any more. I recall that it was very reasonable but I paid in cash and don't recall exactly what it was. I can tell you that I am really really happy with them.

are the mtecs good? and will any errors pop up on the dash? im thinking about buying a set from you. Thanks
I've used Mtec bulbs for the last 2 years, and while they are not the same exact color as the factory xenon bulbs, they are a great bluish white color, with NO error messages! I even put them into my DRL's too!

Hoen are good if you're looking to get non-HID fogs to match the HID headlights...with that said, get the HID 6K+ if you can
