Default Does this look right to you guys? HID opinion (56k beware)

Ok so I purchased a set of HID fogs and D4D replacements to match..

i just installed them.. do you think the color is off? I shouldn't have to break in the D4S bulbs right?

does it look like 6000k or 8000k to you?

Your fogs look so much whiter then your low beams! Its not that it looks wrong it just looks like its differently chosen?..

Your low beam is really different from your fogs. I hope you bought them from the same place, cause different companys use different bulbs and color. I have a friend that bought 8000k and it looks like my brothers 12000k I saw the box and everything. BTW did you adjust your fogs too? I want mines higher but havent done so yet. I just installed what I believe is the best "yellow" output 3000k's, sorry no pics car is still under wraps! LOL

looks 4300k to me.
I think the difference between low beam and foglights is due to the DRL.

I will keep it, looks nice and clean.

i got them from ebay from some seller named stillenmaxima or something like that.. guess ill be asking for a refund, they look nothing like what i expected.

it sucks that there are not a lot of D4S replacements out.. guess i should have went with IJDMTOY for low/fogs..
