i think that the 3000k would look sick with 8000k headlights, i think when you have two different colors than it stands out more, if you got two of the same color temps it just looks blinding to me, i have 6000k headlights and debating on if i should go with the 3000k's also or just get the matching 6000k's, i mean i got more pair of lights from ebay for 63 bucks shipping, the light bulbs themselves you could always buy seperate and just switch em out if you really cant decide, what im affraid of is that the 3000k arnt going to be yellow enough, i would like mine to be the same color as my nokya hyper yellows also, this is the place i got mine from eBay Store - Ultra Vision HID: 35W Single Beam HID On Sale, HID Xenon Replacement Bulbs

Not to hijack the thread. But, I was considering getting Nokya Magnum Cosmic White fog light bulbs and was wondering if this bulb would cause any damage to the fog light housing or wiring. From what I've found online the bulbs have an 80 watt output, which is the same as the Nokya Hyper Yellows.

Any info would be great.

Thanks

i have the Nokya hyper yellows now and i have had them for a wail and went on some 6+ hour road trips and nothing has happened to them. the only thing i have heard was that if you have the yellow paint/film on the fog light lens it WILL burn it off. but if you just rock the bulbs your fine

ya it took a day or so for them to send me anything, if you have any problems just shoot them an email and they respond very fast, ya the yellow hids dont look that yellow in the pictures but if they work better in the fog than you can always just switch them out for bad weather

Depends on the color you want anything above 8K really starts to reflect off rain/fog.

Hey all,
Sorry to be troublesome... But it would be great if there are some nighttime pics of the 3000K... I am contemplating on getting a set... It would be very helpful... Thanks!
