Hi lexus forums

I have a white IS 350 and i want to know which tempature will look better and if anyone has any pictures that would be great. Please explain to me the difference of the two tones as well. Also what company do you reccoment I got with and what bulb size i would need. "I think H11 and im going wit McCulloch so far. What im looking for is a white with a torqouise blue tint to it. Thank You Very Much all Help Is Greatly Appreciated.

yeah thats true while its raining, but thats what fog lights are for.
go for the 8k if you want the light blue look. i love mine.
you wont be able to see the true color of 8000k from camera shots, cuz different cameras show different shades of color, but this is probably one of the most accurate ive seen thats 8000k at night time.

6000k night shot
slight tint of blue. the higher the number the less light
output.
I also added 4500k fogs and hi-beams. The fogs were time consuming to install. Had to go under the wheel well. Saw a post here on doing that. The 4500k bulbs are less yellow than the stock bulbs.

Here ya go, these are my 8000k fogs and low beams. I tried to match the color as close as possible but its better if you look at it in person. I put my camera on Auto mode which made the camera adjust, this is why some pictures have different shades of blue.
I should have put it on manual mode and kept the Shutter speed and Aperture the same on every shot.
Where in California do you live anyways?
I shot this raw and adjust the temperature accordingly, I tried to match them as close as possible.
Fogs on
The next 2 are taken where shops and lots of lights are around.

There's a light post on the left.

This one is a bit tricky. Almost total darkness.

The most recent picture I took.
My friend was busy today, I was going to let him drive and I would take the moving pictures. Maybe next time. Hope the pictures help.

Did you adjust your projector's level? Because from the pics it looks like your projector shoots farther than mine and I have 6000k HID low beams. I also realized my projector is aimed a little too low for my liking
