Default Already have HIDs in headlights...which temp for fogs?

I am currently running a 6500k (slight purple hue) Kaixen HID hi/low kit in the headlights that I am very happy with. I'm simply looking to go to HID's for the foglights and am a bit undecided on which color temp to go with. Should I match the headlight temp or go with a temp to match the white LED's (slightly blue tint) such as the 6k kits? Below is a pic of the current setup.





Thanks

I think a few different things would look great. A 3000K kit? a 6000K kit? or a 10000K kit. It would set both kits off if they were different, make the car stand out more!!

I'm running the optilux LED ring foglights that use H3 lamps (not pictured in sig). I've thought about going with a 6k kit but I just don't think it will look right.

3000k would be you best bet for offset and for performance lighting use, they are awesome for bad weather situations

I would either match the H4 with what you already have or go with a 4500 to 5000k H3 foglight to make it appear more white. I like the purplish color of the H4's maybe use more whitish light so you don't make a mis-match in color between the two setups.


I matched mine, 6000k H4's & 6000k H3's
