I redid my whole lighting with a friend (who is pretty good at DIYs) because my left ballast died on me and it didn't seem too bad to do. We somehow manage to take 3 1/2 hours to do the low and fogs though

Personally, I think 3ks look very nice on White and Black cars.

On silver, since I also went with blue theme interior and F-sport breaks, I decided to accent it by having blue tones to my fogs

hey! yeah the visibility improved. Its a tad bit more brighter than the stock. Also it looks cleaner now without the yellow look. More of the 7000k ish look.

wait, does that mean that.... you are gonna help too? LOL

just messing wit ya
if you have factory HID's, it's just a matter of swapping the bulbs. same goes for the city lights and the DRL/high beams

if you don't have factory HID's, then that's a different story. same goes for HID fogs.

i understand it might take that long for aftermarket HID fogs, but are you running aftermarket HID lows?

Hey yeah I updated the pics of daytime of them. Also included DRL lights. And of course, there is almost no chance in getting blue DRL lights because they use half the wattage of the highbeams (9005). So, without burning all the lumens in the bulb, they will remain yellow. In my perspective, you can think of it this way... since my bulbs are 7000k with full wattage, in half wattage, you will get 3500k.. something like that.
