I had ordered my RetroSolutions kits 5000K all around and somehow received what I think is 6000K for the fogs. This is the effect, and I love it. It's not the most functional setup in the world, and I still have to aim the fogs down (some of the bulb coating got scratched off during the very difficult install), but the "5500K effect" on the highway and on backroads is staggering. Huge luminance and awesomely subtle color.

Different cameras and different camera setttings will vastly effect color in the photo. Our photos of the actual bulbs are taken after 100 hrs of burn in time all with the same camera and settings.

Two different sets of optics as well... and if color disconnect was any sort of a problem for him, all he has to do is ask us to exchange and that is all there is to it. That is how we take care of our clients.

However, what does that have to do with you adding your .02 with something unrelevant to the thread topic- "Anyone with HIDs and Retro-Solution's Fog Lights?" -> as in not you. You came in here and posting up your photos of an unrelated product.

AND is not OR

All you are really doing is going out of your way to promote a product by another company that is not a sponsor here on MF, and presumably so because you have an incentive to do so. For one thing that is advertising, for another it is misleading in a thread brought up by the OP for our product. So please be respecful of those companies that pay to keep these forums free for all members to use, and if you would like to discuss the finer points of your HID and where you purchased from, etc. you can make your own on topic thread to discuss.

Send a PM if you want to discuss it more.
