Since the new GS using the D4S headlight bulbs, does it has a high color temperture (5000k)? or it's just the same as 4300K?
I'm thinking of putting HID on the fog. Thanks

might be slightly higher, but I'd guess for all intents and purposes = the same.

I have the 6000K HID from xenondepot for the fogs. I have yet upgraded my low beams yet....

Someday......

Well, that's what i saw in GS forum(a bit brighter than 4300K, maybe around 5000K). In fact, my GX470 has both low beam and foglight 6000K HIDs. They are good looking but they are just not bright enough in my opinion.
By the way, how does your match up?(the low beam with the 6000k fog, are they matched)

not even close in "look".

And the OEM are probably closer to a 4600K light output, not the 5000K you mentioned.

The 6000K fogs are a purpleish color, where as the low beams are white up close, but a blue tint from a distance.

I plan on matching the low beams with the GE 6000K's. If they don't put out as much light as I think they will (obviously less than the OEM) I will just keep those for later, and put back in the OEM's. I at least want to try for myself.

I honestly think the pick is misleading. In person it doesn't look that close.

I have the 6000K fogs, and haven't changed my low beams and in person it doesn't look close... but the camera, makes them look similar.

See.

Nice Pic! Thanks for posting! So now i think i should have the idea what i will get. Mostly likely 4300k.
That's true, camera does make a different, and depends on the setting, it might get some nice pictures. That's why HID lighting is trick in camera.
