Default Driving lights/Fog light colors

New to the forums, I've got a silver 07 GS350 AWD and I was planning on changing out the fog lights to HID's. Does anyone have pictures of their car running HID fogs for me? Was thinking 3K because theres a lot of rain/fog here (SEATTLE). Thanks.

I've got 8000K low beams and 2500K fogs, and I love that setup. I've attached some pics. The first pic is very misleading, as the lights are not blue - they are pure white with a slight bluish tint depending on the viewing angle. I can tell you this - they light pure white on the road. No blue at all. The second and third pics are much more representative. I also have the Putco parking lights, to better match the HIDs.

nice set up, yeah whenever you take a picture, it secretly comes out bluish.

Sick light setup. Can I achieve this look by only buying new bulbs? Or have you added something else'?

Are your high beams on in this pic or is it just the parking lights?

This was 5 mins ago with close shot. The parking led will look better in person or from far distance. 8000k low beam and 6000k fog light

Can I just switch out bulbs on the DRLs if I want leds ( or a white colored bulb) or do I need a wiring kit? Id like them to look like nGeee's setup... all matching

Im not a fan of the yellow drls that are stock. because they clash with the headlamps.

also can the dealership sort this out? if a wiring kit is required id rather them just set it up right. cuz id prolly screw it up
