Nice, you need to do the fogs now. Are they retrosolutions?

They are halo fogs with high intensity bulbs but they are not HID.

Looks good. I just hope you don't run into situations where you need to see well in dark, heavy fog or rainy conditions. Anything over 5000K absolutely sux at night in bad weather.

I think 6K is fine in the weather and dark.

Are you asking for lumens or temperature?

Most stock halogen lamps are in the 3400K - 3600K temperature range and lumens will vary depending on bulb type. You can usually find lumens on the manufacturers website's spec sheets. I can't speak for stock HID temperature.

The HIDs came in super handy on the 10 just outside San Antonio. It was pitch black. I lit up the road for my wife who was trailing. They were a wise install before the trip... Have not used them in bad weather yet though. We shall see. Thanks for the nice comments.
