Headlight help!!!

I am new to the forum and also to customizing my G. I have a 2007 Sedan. I am looking to replace and upgrade the headlights. What do I need to buy to get more of a blue-er look for the headlights? Also I want to replace my fog lights so they are not so yellow. Any help is appreciated!

There are hundreds of threads on this and search is your best friend here for the most detailed info... in short all you need to do is search and look for pics of different kelvin HID bulbs and see which color/K you want to go with.

6000k bulbs are the most famous which are crystal white with hint of blue
8000k are much more 'blue-er' but with lesser visibility.

If you want to match your fogs to your headlights in color you would need to get HID kit of same kelvin or get a upgraded bulb which will be whiter but not close to hid color.

+1... If you want blue go it 8000k... you will lose some output but still bright.

For the headlights hi/lo beams, all you need is new D2S HID bulbs, for fogs if you want to match the color you would need the entire HID kit

Highly suggest DDM tuning your bulbs and ballast for the fogs will run u 60ish shipped with lifetime warrentys and the bulbs for the regular lights are 15 plus shipping with a 1 year warrenty
