mk6933 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 as in the color temperature or the voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I just installed a DDM Apexcone Raptor kit in my fogs, 35W, 5000K. I got em on ddmtuning.com for $25+shipping, cheaper than halogen bulbs and it'll be my third DDM kit on three diff cars, never had a problem with any of them. The ballasts on that kit are pretty big, but I just mounted them on the bottom of the bumper plastic that goes around the fogs so that didn't really matter to me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

jCubed Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 DDM kits are the only way to go! Mine work great and are cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 DDM is always an inexpensive option as far as color temp goes, i would prob go with a slightly lower color temp, maybe 3k (more yellowish). shorter wavelength light (blue) is more prone to scattering, particularly if you intend to use them in foggy conditions. but if you're region doesn't see a lot of fog, the 5k can be nice to match your headlamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdzowner Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 ddm for sure. install takes about 20 minutes. i went with same color temps for fog and headlights. i like the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yup pretty much, you do have to mod the covers but if you've got a dremmel it's cake, I followed this thread and it was perfect, except the power wire on the DDM kit was blue not red haha. I agree with the post above yours though, the best for fog would be a lower temp, but I've got a 6K 55W kit in my headlights and the 35W 5K kit in the fogs is a good combo, slightly whiter/more yellow than the headlights, but not too much (personal preference, I've never been a fan of the yellow fog look) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers?

W1CKED Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I've got a set of 6k (or 7k) HIDs for the fogs that I've never installed. Hell...I've never even opened the box. You can have them for the price of shipping, if you want. Just shoot me a PM if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
