Blacked out Grille and PIAA fog lights

Hey Guys -- here are some pics of my blacked out grille and my PIAA fog lights. It wasnt as white as I hoped it would be.. but definately better than the faded yellow stocks.

its these ones:

I use Krylon paint

http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/

but you can use Dupli brand as well. That is for cars specifically. if I had to do it again, I prolly would go with Dupli just cuz its for cars... but it still turned out well.. so its all good.

I thought about that.. hehe im definately considering that mod. Although, im thinking, I will just go with overlays if I do decide to do that.

Full smoke with a light tint.

Car's looking sick bro.

The lights don't seem to be 4100k though... you should email eautoworks and let them know.

If mine are the same I won't be very happy since these still look yellow

ya seriuosly... is it just me.. or us... or are 4100K lights not truly white? I was told that if you wanted it white, you need to go with 6 to 7k lights.. by my friend who is into cars as well.

Any thoughts guys?

I'll email eutoworks and find out.

Basically, if you want pure white you would have to go with 5000k

6 or 7k would be more blue-ish

The reason I recommended these lights is because 4100k should be almost an exact match of the stock xenons which are rated at 4300k

Just a friendly FYI, if you are going for looks only the PIAA's are great. Keep in mind however that the blue tint applied to them cuts down on the visible light considerably and they are much worse than stock in the fog. The human eye has trouble with the color blue. Yellow is the easiest for the human eye to see.

Yeah but these don't seem to have any blue tint to the whatsoever which means it doesn't match the stock xenons very well.
