Hey Vic Viper, with the Crystal Vision, are there certain angles where the light looks somewhat yellow or does it always look white. I notice when it is in the daytime outside, the CV Ultra looks kind of yellow comparing with my xenons, but then at night time it matches pretty well. I am very tempted to buy the orginal 4300k CV for that perfect match if possible.

A lot of people have asked me how I installed HID.s in the fogs, they get very surprised when I say that they are halogens.
Actually the stock HID.s have more yellow streaks than the CV fogs.

Wow, I guess that answers my question. Darn it. So the 4300k CV doesnt have any slight yellow at all too it then? Thanks for the quick reply Vic Viper.

Patrick, I woudnt be too down about it, it matches very nicely, like I said my wife even said it matches, I just want a more whiter look. Sometimes I think im too **** for myself, but I just have to try out the regular CV to get it out of my system.

****QUESTION****
With CrystalVision 4300K Bulbs for Fog Lights, do you get a decreased light output compared to stock????
Like when turning, is it harder to see because the CV 4300Ks do not illuminate as well as the stock yellow bulbs???
Somewhere back in this long thread i read this from a post by Vic, and I just wanted to confirm and see hom much loss you guys expereinced...
Thanks

For people with HID, they are OSRAMS, I think I am going to change them for Philips as Philips are known be a more white color than the OSRAM at 4300k.

For a non bixenon headlights, would it be good set up to have the Low Beam and Fog lights replaced by Philips CV and eyelids with polargs instead?
Would the output be any better than stock?
Driving at night using a non bixenon lights is kinda hard to see. I just want a decent upgrade and make my driving experience at night much better.
Any other recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
