Took some picture of the car
RE: Took some picture of the car
Jeez jason........by all means ask, but have you ever actually looked at the FAQs?
There's all sorts of very useful info there incl some on HID's etc etc
Most seem to agree on 6000k as the best all rounder though!

Thank you Sultan, Jim or nineball the bulb type that I need is H1 right. PLEASE I need your opinion, does it look good with 6000k low beam and 8000k fogs.

RE: Took some picture of the car
Yeah its h1....225 for both installed is a steal! Jump on that! Are they reputable or is that someone random doing it? Personally man go with the same kelvin temps for both. DO NOT MIX IT UP! It won't look right...the only thing that looks right would be going with like 3k or 4k for the fogs and 5k or higher for the main lights. Personally I'd go 6k and 6k. I have 6k and love it, I wanted more stock looking hid but now that I have 6k I'm totally glad I got them. They are the best compromise to blue and brightness. Here's a picture (from my camera phone please excuse the crappy pic) of my brights with regular bulbs and hids...

RE: Took some picture of the car
Just keep in mind it might take them a while, the ballasts may break and it will cost 40 some odd bucks, and the guy there doesn't always respond promptly. Did you check through them about getting a deal on shipping or they won't? Once shipped it should only take 5 days at most...as long as those chinese shipping idiots could figure out how to ship! Overall nice lights though! Yeah the h1 is the bulb for both but for some reason they say its hard to mount hids into the fogs...I'm can't remember because it was a year and half ago when I changed out my fogs...sorry about that but yeah H1 for both and good luck!

RE: Took some picture of the car
I am still waiting for the pic of you Jason!!
I have difficulty with you youngins and the "do they look bad?" often kids say bad to mean good, hahah.. then you asked if it looks good? so I am confused heheheh...
I Like the blueish purplish tingeof the higher number bulbs, but the main headlights need to be functional for me, so I use the 6000 bulbs. My factory foglight are totally useless for adding light. I cant see any difference when they are on or off. If I was going to upgrade the fogs I would definelty seize the opportunity to get some cool purplybue lights.
I think it would look great with 6000 main headlights and higher number HID fogs..
be careful throwing around the H1 name, H1 is a type of bulb base, not the entire bulb, it may confuse people if you start telling them you have H1 bulbs in there. I think they must be custom bulbs with a xenon bulb and an H1 base.

RE: Took some picture of the car
If your looking for a different look for the fogs I guess go for a high k rating but to me I'd probably like it more uniform with the top matching the bottome kind of thing....go to your local wal mart or auto parts store and find a bulb for it...I just took mine out of the car and matched it up to what they had...
