Default Dilemma - advice for HID lows and fogs

Going to order 2 sets from XenonDepot. However, I can't decide on 6k lows with 3k fogs or 6k lows and fogs. I know it's a matter of preference, but what do you guys think? I've seen lots of pics, but it's still a toss up.

I think 8000k with 3000k looks sick...just my opinion.

I'd go with 6k lights, and 3k fogs. I've got 5k lights and 3k fogs. I like the yellow fogs.

This is all personal preference, not sure what you'll achieve from asking others their personal preferences. Only way to determine this is look at pictures, decide which you personally like better.

I have 5k lows and 3k fogs from xenon depot and i love them! The only thing i will say is that you should get the relay harness for both, I got the xtreme kit for my highs which includes the harness, but on my fogs I got the volt kit that doesn't include the harness and every once and a while one of the fogs won't come on until you turn them off and back on again. Its annoying but its the cars fault not the kit , and i have read that a relay harness will fix the problem 100%

Try posting a poll on this thread....it's a great way to get an idea of what looks the best or is most common.

Just putting it out there for some convo. Also found out about the harness from Black04IS so that helps.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I'm running 5000k lows and 3000k fogs. I used to run 6000k/6000k on my previous car, but I think I like the yellow fogs look better. It's really up to your own preference.

Just go with what you like. Since you're in Vancouver, you can check out my setup in person if you want. 6500k xenondepot lows and 2500k luminics fogs.
