3000k foglights

Hi all...I did a quick search for fog light upgrades for my wife's 2008 G35. I found that the 3000k foglights seem to be a good match. Where's the best place to buy them? Any other options on color?

3000k is alright, I've had both 6000k and 3000k, and with the 6000k it wasn't as noticeable while driving at night (plus i was afraid people might think those are my high beams).... The 3000k's are definitely noticeable, but not everyone likes the contrasts...

here's some pics of my 3000k set up:

from my experience with having 3k in my fogs and also 6ks the best option is to match your main light so if your still stock with the 4300k then get that if your 6k get 6k for your fogs because it will make the light on the road more intense. when i had different colors 6k for main and 3k for the fogs it was weird because it didnt seem like the lights did anything for me besides add weird mix of color on the road and i dont think it helped at all for lighting.

No that link is for bulbs only! it would be best to call and ask for ANdy, he know what kit is for our car, I forget which ones are the Kit i have. Or contact him on AIM, but he's not online too much nowadays, so best to just call him up.

Well that one reason i changed out my 8000K Bulbs. Got pulled over and had to go too court, they looked nice, but were a little too blue. so went with the 6000K's, and think they are just right, nice bright white with a small tint of blue, just what i was looking for!

Sorry man, I don't have any pics of them. I had to get a new pair of Hoens after my accidents and I still haven't gotten around to installing them.
I'd say the Hoens would match 6000k headlights better than 4300k since they're more whiteish blue with no hint of yellow.

I'm planning on changing out to 6000k headlights so they should work well.

Should I just get the bulbs from Andy? Or would it be better to get the Philips Ultinon bulbs?

Did you just retro-fit a HID kit into your OEM fog housing (just blubs and ballasts)? No projector replacement right?
