HID kits aren't the best in fog...... Also the OEM 4300K D2S bulbs are the brightest you will ever get unless you up the wattage on the ballast. I don't see why you would want very purple lights that are less bright in your low beams..... We already have purple looking low beams from the projectors cutoff the 10K bulbs just mimic that...... Don't be fooled by color temp 10K is not brightness it is color..... Actually in fog the less bright it is the better because bright HID will just light up the fog. Low lumens are what allows you to see in fog not High. There is a site I found that upped the wattage on the Ballast from 35W to 65W Lets just says INSANE! At 35W it makes 9,400 lumens which is standard for OEM HID 65W made 22,000 Lumens. That would not be exactly street legal.

looks man, looks... if i wanted to see i can turn on my high beams
nah, i'll probably up it to 6000k and fogs to 8000k.... 6000k is the break off point where you start to lose light, the 8000k is just a compliment to the low beams...

LOL..... That's what the projector's for! The evo actually has a very very purple/blue effect from far away.

yeah but wouldn't a yellow light passing through a yellow glass bulb be a yellow filter?
anyway i just don't know. i got the hyper whites for my car instead for the fogs.
I have a set of 8000k hid's from my truck that i put in my g-friends accord, they are very blue.
