Default Foglight HID Question.

Hey I was wondering what color I should get if I get HIDs for my OEM foglights? I did try to search, but got some odd results.

The thing I'm wondering is if I should stick with a white color (i.e. 4300K) since I have the headlight armor protection (in GT Racing Yellow)? I see a lot of people with 3000k, but I think that may end up coming out weird because of the protectant on the lens itself, but unsure.

Also, is there any issues with HIDs being damaging the the foglights themselves at all?

Much appreciated and sorry if I pretty much answered my own question.

Most have a glare problem with HID fogs which make it worthless.

Id say pass but thats just my personal opinion.

Well since you have a yellow film on them, whatever color you get, it's still going to be yellow. Save your money and just get some yellow bulbs. HID's in the fogs have a bad cut off and will probably get you flashed by a lot of oncoming traffic. If you put a yellow bulb in there, this will give you a deep yellow color.

Alright, I will just pass on them, thought it would improve their visibility but it doesn't seem that way.

Thanks!
