Hey,
The other night, I changed the fog lights of my car to these 60W/55W 4800K Halogen bulbs. Since they run at the same rating as the factory fog lights, they produced the same amount of light on the road, but at a 4800K rating, they are much more blue/white and match my Xenon headlights much better. These lights were only $7 + shipping off of eBay. Unfortunately, I am still not satisfied with the lighting produced by my car's standard 4000K Xenon headlights and my 4800K aftermarket fog lights. So I am going to buy a new pair of Halogen fog lights, but this time 100W/90W fog lights. I know you are not supposed to run over the recommended rating as it risks melting your wiring harness, but I honestly don't care and I don't think anything will happen. Now this time I think I am going to go with 5500K light bulbs, for an even more blue appearance. Also, I am going to purchase a set of 6000K Xenon HID headlight bulbs to replace my factory 4000K Xenons. So basically, my Xenon headlights and my fog lights are going to have a more blue appearance, since they are both going to have a higher temperature rating than factory (and the fog lights are going to have a higher wattage rating than factory). Now there is a theory that the higher the temperature rating you go, the less light is put out onto the road. Does anybody agree with this or no? At the very least, I am definitely going to invest in those 5500K 100W/90W fog light bulbs because that is obviously going to be brighter than my current 60W/55W bulbs, but what about the 6000K Xenon upgrade? Does anybody think I am only making things worse by going with 6000K bulbs instead of sticking with the stock 4000k Xenon bulbs?
Any help is appreciated, thanks !!
P.S. http://www.amirsaleh.com/G35/Fogs.jpg -- That is a picture of my G35C with the aftermarket fog lights installed. The top lights are the Xenon HID headlights that came with the car, and the bottom lights are the aftermarket 4800K fog lights. As you can see, the fog lights match the Xenon headlights very well.
