Are you just changing the bulbs, or do you want a 3k HID kit?

I would like to recommend the HID kit in 3000K like Phillip mentioned. I swapped out my bulbs for a yellow 55 watt (OEM wattage) and they were not yellow enough. A small step up from the factory cream. Then I purchased the Yellow Rvinyl protective film and it helped. I am going to simply install a Yellow HID kit to make the fogs much brighter and better. My advice would be to go for the HID kit and don't waste money like I did. One other note, make sure to not install higher wattage than 55w if you stick with halogens, higher wattage bulbs will burn out the harness and void warranty. It has happened to some members.

I installed Luminics 2500K 2weeks ago and this is how it looks like. Sorry for the crappy phone pic, but you get the idea. If you want it brighter, go with HID.
