Halogen or HID

Well im installing new 04 headlights, mine were messed up since i bought my car. How i want to put different fog light bulbs, now im not sure if i want to go with an H4 3000k Yellow, a 6000k hid fog, or a JDM luminics Yellow Halogen bulb. Any and all input is appreciated. Thank you

not so much for looking cool, i honestly have a terrible time seeing at night. I wish i could afford to do a quad projector upgrade. I just dont really care for the chrome of the 06-07 housings on a DG, the 04's housings match so great.

get some glasses? 95+% of the cars on the road have halogen low beam lighting, you can't possibly be that blind

Stock. Stock provides the most lumens which is what you actually need to see more at night.

impossible. Any time you add a coating to a bulb, you are going to block some of the light wavelengths, thus reducing output. A completely uncoated bulb such as stock will provide the best output if that is what you are truly concerned about

ok well then what bulbs would look the best without sacrificing much luminosity while looking better than stock, i cant stand the color of those bulbs, and have had good luck with yellow bulbs in the past

well i am currently building a street/show car, and having the visibility that i need will require an HID. im so low to the ground as it is i really dont see how i will be blinding people especially considering the fog light is below the headlight. every picture i have seen on this site is not super blinding like everyone is claiming them to be
