Default Nokya H3 question

i did my searching so no flames necessary

i have a 6000k hid kit for my lows and i never want to turn on my vrd fogs just because the color does not match at all... halogen white looks like a cream color compared to 6000k HIDs

ive been looking at NOKYA fogs in either: arctic white stage 2 or arctic purple

based on others personal experiences i would like to ask the following questions:

question 1: which color h3 bulb would look closer to 6000k?

question 2: ive read that nokya bulbs tend to melt harnesses, does this only apply to h11 bulbs or does it expand to h3s?

website for reference to bulb colors:
http://www.nokyausa.com/headlights.html

thanks for any info

You risk frying your wiring with the stage II bulbs; they are rated at 100w. Most people have the stage I arctic white which are rated at the OEM wattage. Mine are sitting behind yellow vinyls so I can't say if they match 6000K HIDs.

bro...if you want a quality bulb that will last long...dont get nokya, dont get luminics, dont get raybrig...none of that just spend the extra money on some PIAA bulbs and they will last 50x longer than any of those bulbs

I have learned that my 002X fogs have an 12v H3 bulb in them...Is it possible to match the 10000 HID's with the 002X's????
