^ +1...from reading this thread thats what i would come to guess..

i bought the 35W 6k Nightvision kit from Todd at retrosolutions (member on here).

i dont have any complaints on them....but now im looking for a bulb for my fogs that seem whiter(going for looks not function b/c my headlights work well enough). with the halogen bulbs and HID's they are yellow compared to the HID blueish tint.

6000k 55w headlights and 5000k 35w foglights are what im shooting for. Should be about the same color and should look **** in the cobra foglights. The dark smoked headlights should make the headlights a bit dimmer but they will still be BRIGHT AS HELL!!!

I think I will just do that as well. Still waiting on autohidguy on ebay and ddm tuning to email me back so I can order from one or the other.

Funny. I have the 55w 8k from ddm and they look almost pure white to me. I definitely wouldn't say they're blue. Regardless, I vote 55w bulbs and just get some ricer white fog bulbs. Why would anyone need HID fog lights if you have HID headlights?

Sorry but you won't find me spending almost 200 bucks on an hid kit when everyone has been more than happy with the cheap ones and have given great reviews!

No way would i spend $193 for 55w HID's when i could buy HID's for my headlights and my foglights from DDM for $130(55w slim ballasts for heads and 35w slim ballasts for fogs). Unless DDM raised their prices in the last week.
