So if I bought the 55w 4300k HID kit from retro, you guys think these LED's would be comparable?

oh I had them aftermarket HID's on previuos car....they're blinding..much brighter than L.E.D's, if I wanted to use my fogs as headlights, as I was able to on my '10 GT I would have gone with HID's, but I had a $500 mishap where the HID was too hot, drifted out of it's socket, melted my housing, that was why made sure my headlights came stock with HID's this time, I just like how nice and white the LED's are now compared to what I had.

Gotcha... I ordered the 5,000k HID's from retro today, but I don't wana pay another $140 for the fogs. Can I throw in these LED's and have the headlights and fog light colors match?

I did. I've worked with HID's before. I'm just trying to find out what Kelvin the LED's are.

This site has great info on LED's (http://autolumination.com/colors.htm). If we new the wattage of the LED's we could match it to the color scale.
