I got mine from Darwin at CarLab Motorsports in Santa Clara, CA.

I check around but no shops seem to have done HID for C class fogs.

Sigh,

I'll be installing HID;s fogs onto my car, if it works i'll let you know where you can ge tthe HID's and how to install them.

dac086

do you know exactly which one it was?

M230K

My bro installed 4300k HID kit for the foglightss from CarLab. Thankx Darwin

arent HID kits supposed to be like 3 times brighter than the regular halogen stock bulb? the kit we have installed looks exactly like the old stock one :S:S .. not brighter or whiter
what i was trying to achieve was for the fogs to match the OEM bi-xenons, which are 4300k stock right? i dunoo
neways, when i turn the fogs on.. sure they match the bi xenon white colour, but for like the first 30 secs they do lol, after that, it gets hotter and turns into the stock yellow colour i wanted to get rid of in the first place:@
the only thing i dont get is the main headlights are 4300k.. so i go out and buy 4300k 9006 HID fogs. why dont they match?

thankss

M230K

look at how this beamer lights up the ground
how do they do this? 6000k? but i thought the higher the temp. the lower the light output is

M230K

now lets say i wanted to upgrade my HID Foglight bulbs to 6000k .. does it matter what company it is??? bcos i have CarLab Ballast and all. will this make a difference in the power or something? like less light output.?

nlpamg

those are definitely 6000k. if you want it to match with stock then the 4300k kit is the right kit. I don't have time, but I posted the difference between the HID kits and some pics of my HID fogs a while back.

amdeutsch

Shouldn't you be talking to Darwin first instead of taking it to a forum?

advans

whatever K it is, its the bulb. maybe look at something around 5000k

[iNTx]

No way if it is not brighter!
I have the same setup and it matches because my bixenon bulb is new!
I felt the difference in hazardous weather such as rain. If you want whiter go for 6k both headlight and foglight.

4300K is the correct color to match stock BiX bulbs. Stock BiX bulbs are 4300K and are white, not blue.

If you want some blue, get 6000K HID bulbs. Yeah, you can use HID bulbs from another kit, but you might have to splice the wires. I ordered a CarLab 6000K HID kit and got a 6600K kit. The bulbs were very poor. They looked like 10,000K. I switched over to the Philips bulbs and now they match my BiX

EDIT: I have Philips Ultinon bulbs in my BiX too

M230K

thanks for the replies guys.

HID kits are supposed to be brighter than regular halogens right? My kit looks exactly the same after i use them for 60 secs, like the first 60 secs there pure white matching my bixenons > like this pic >



Then they change to that ugly yellow colour after


Powa has 8000k fogs and his are like 5times as brighter than mine how is that possible? 4300k supposed to be the brightest.
(pics thanks to powa) or does it depend on the company?

M230K

do you have ne pictures?

thanks

My 3500K yellows headlights & fogs probably aren't as bright as the stock ones but DAAAMMMNNNNNNN....they looks smoooove......

rlee02135

heres my 12000K

M230K

lol what the sh*t!!!! how in the hell are your headlights and fogs look brighter than mine:| i just dont get it! the higher you go on the K scale the more brighter it gets?? thats not what it says on xenons websites

anthuny85

4k ur gonna get the most output on the floor and visibility, the higher in K u go, the bluer/purp it gets and therefore what is seen on the floor isnt as much to the eye...id say stay safe and go with 6k, its a happy medium. esp. with the carlab kit.

M230K

I have Carlab HID Ballasts now, and im going with philips 6000k.
top and bottom

anthuny85

all u gota do is switch out ur 4k bulb for a 6k bulb
you have all the wiring done up already..why dont u jus get a 6k kit from darwin, im sure he'll help you out, u wont be displeased with the 6k. i had the 6k in my headlights and loved em.

M230K

he was out of stock of 6000k, from what i heard the the 6000k looks more like the 10000k. ill stick with Philips

Onizuka

6000k is only more blue than the 4300k, it is far from 10000k. I have friends with 6000k and 8000k HID. I personally think 6000k looks the best while the 8000k is a bit too purpleish for me. I compared the density of the 4300k, 6000k, and 8000k HIDs by parking our cars side by side and the 4300k's beam covered over the 6000k and 8000k, which means 4300k IS the brightest. (many people know this already but you can still do this little test if you do not believe)

powa

mine is 8000k and im very satisfy with it. If urs is HID fog it should be bright, 4300k should be white with LITTLE yellow but u won't really notice unless ur inside the car. Did you check if it's real HID conversion or just the fake HID bulb?
