Color temerature suggestion

Want to get HID fog lamps to showcase MTEC angle eyes.

Which color temperature will match the mtec angle eyes?

Great! I'm going to buy the ddm kit and wanted a nice match. I bought the MTEC 4350k but are slightly a little more yellow then i wanted. I cant imagine 150 units of K being any different.

4300k is stock temperature... gives off a yellowish look....should've gone with 6000k

...and also...I believe your fogs are H8... H11 is for Msport/Mtech bumpers only

I believe its the other way around. Also i have 4350k halogens and theyre pretty white. 4500k HID must be more so.
