You have the bulbs by themselves right? No overlay?

Can you post a picture with your headlights and fogs on and show the cutoff point where your fogs meet the light from your lowbeams?

So let's say if an overlay was added, would it be an even deeper yellow color?

Do you notice a difference in visibility with the 3000k fogs, or is it all for looks. I feel like the fogs on our cars don't really do anything.

Decided to remove the plastic signal light diffusers to give the headlight a smoother look, seal up the middle turn signal area, and add TSX projectors for a crisp cutoff.

Next up Bosch H3 mini fog projectors with yellow capsules.

Yeah a little. It does help in the rain though.... less glare. (Then again I forgot what stock fogs look like )

Looks good! How's the output compare to stock OEM? Do the lows and fogs match well?

I cant comment on stock OEM output because my car originally came with halogens and I bought the stripped version of the new headlights. Still, the light output it ridiculous compared to other H11 kits Ive used in the past!

They do match for the most part but I think they dont match 100% due to the differences between the reflector fogs and projector low beams.
