Sorry I don't have any pictures to provide, because I havn't purchased HID's yet, I have other maintenance items to take care of first...

In general... The lower the Kelvin temperature the better it is for foggy weather conditions.
3000K is a excellent temperature for fog lights.
4300K is regular halogen temperature, which is more into the red spectrum, and offers minimal glare in foggy conditions.
5000K will appear white, and might have a very very faint blue tint to it.
6000K will appear whitish, but will have a more pronounced blueish color in general compared to 5k.
8000K will be blue
Any higher Kelvin temperatures and you are getting into purple and pink temperatures.

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, AFTER YOU RETROFIT TO HID'S, RE-ADJUST THE AIM OF YOUR HEADLIGHTS!

i thought 4300K was the temp that pretty much all oem HID's come with? it should be pretty white

pictures of my 4300k.

id say stick with 4300k or 6000k...ive had just about every color and 4300k has been my favorite of all.

in the rain, 8k and up gets so faint you cant even see where you are going!

i.e. pointless lol.

yes they do just have to get 9005 socket for the highs on stock headlights.

and H1 bulbs for JDM headlights.

they use they're own ballast also. so all HID's for high's and lows would be 4 separate ballast.

From experience, 5000K is much better. It still has a bluish hint, but has much more usable light than 6000K.
