3000k, higher the number doesn't mean brighter... somewhere around 3600 is absolute day light(noon) aka brightest

4300 FTW if you want to see, but if you want the best of both worlds (color and lumens) do a projector retro fit and no glare

I have 4300K in my fog lamps of my EVO, not yellow not blue, crystal white and really bright, thats all i cared about. the blue looks cheesy to me, and the yellow reminds me of ghetto streetlamps, i dont know its really what you like.

if you want to be different, id say get a 14000k kit. i saw it on an evo once, and it definately got my attention. mostly for show.

im thinking about changing only my fogs to 4300k, and leaving the headlights stock.
would it be a good idea?

4300k is best for sight. 6000k looks best to me. anything more looks like cheap blue bulbs.
