Try and follow me on this....
Shopping for HID low and fogs - I'm looking at a 6000K kit since I get nice color while still brighter illumination compared to going higher K value. I know fogs will be 35W, but I wouldn't mind the brighter output of a 55W kit for my lows. Both fogs and lows will be on a harness.
However, DDM says
- ''Our 55w HID kits are 40% brighter than the standard 35w kits.''
- ''55w kits tend to wash out some of the color of the HID bulb due to the light output( for example, a 55w 8000k will look similar in color to a 35w 6000k kit).''
A 35W 6000k kit produces a stronger 'flood' of useful light on the road than a 35W 8000K, but the 35W 8000K would look bluer. Would it be worth it to try and get a 55W 8000K low kit to match the 35W 6000K fog kit color, while producing as much 'flood' of useful light if not more than a 35W 6000K kit for the lows?
If my lows produce more light being 55W thats fine, but I want the color between lows and fogs to be the same. Basically my options are:
----Lows-----------------Fogs-------
1. -35W 6000K----------35W 6000K
2. -55W 6000K----------35W 6000K
3. -55W 8000K----------35W 6000K

What are your guys' opinions or experience if you are running any of these combos?
