Default nokya bulb fogs + 8k hid headlights

Ok so I wrecked my tc so Im going with APT fogs. Im debating to go with the lexus look with my 8k headlights and hyper yellow fogs. I heard nokya is pretty good but I was wondering if there is a close match with nokya bulbs to my 8k hids? Pics would be appreciated

I think he was referring to the yellow fogs as a lexus look/trend. I wouldn't suggest 8k. Go for 4 to 5K.

I think Lexus uses a 4k Low beam and halogen fogs. 8k would be way too blue.

Yellow fogs. Maybe it can hide the blue from the police.

2.5k HIDs are going to throw an insane amount of light in to people's faces, the fog light assemblies don't direct the light out as efficiently as headlights. I'd just stick to halogens down there.

nokya 2500k's arent HID's there halogen bulbs.

Yellow Hids's only come in 3k.

PIAA Plasma ion yellows = amazing in fogs. Best halogens ive ever encountered. 6k hids in headlights btw.

Edit, yellow fogs help to balance out the blue of your headlights too, giving you a really good combined visibility spectrum.

anything over 5k is a waste. 4300k is optimum light output. after that light output starts to dramatically deteriorate.
