Color match to HID's
First off let me start by letting you know that I already did a search and didn't find a clear answer to what I want to know.
My question is what color temp is best for the DRL's (H7's) and fog's (H11's) to have them match the color of the stock HID's? I have been looking at the GP Thunder's which come in 7500K or 8500K, which I think would be too blue to match the headlights. I also have seen the MTEC 4350K, and 4750K ones and I'm thinking one of those would be the best match, but I'm not sure which one. Also, I do plan on changing the angel eyes (maybe BMS ones), and I'm guessing those are all mostly around 6000K - is that pretty much the norm? |

Welcome to my dilemma as well. I plan on going with highperformance bulbs HID conversion for my H11's (seems like a pretty easy kit), and I think I'm going to try out Luminics Krypton Titanium H7's (5500k). I am also going to order LUX 5.1's for my AE's.

There is a slight difference in the 'keying' tabs of the bulb mount. I have seen some trim the tabs to make H11's work in H8 sockets
