i justs installed 12000K (very blue) HID made by Euro EFX in Lancer GTS today. now i need to take car of fog lights and high beams. any suggestions on the whitest and brightest halogen that can be usedand purchased at a local auto parts store? Thanks.

If you want highbeams with the BEST illumination, then go for the GE Nighthawks.
If you want highbeams with the HID look, then go for the Philips DiamondVision in 5000K.

You do NOT want HIDs for your highbeams since most people use the highbeams for a quick "flash." HIDs take 5-15 seconds to fully warm up, so flashing HIDs can harm the life of the bulb and ballast.

Now when concerning foglights, there's two paths you can take. If you don't mind spending the extra bucks, you can go with HIDs here too. 5000K is a pure diamond white whereas 4300K is a white with a slint of yellow. 4300K offers better illumination than 5000K and it also mimics real sunlight, so you don't feel so fatigued after driving with them on late at night... but with the 12000K low beams, I don't think that's a huge concern right now.

If you're on a tight budget, I would recommend Hoen's Xenonmatch halogens. I have them for my car and they compliment my 5000K HIDs very well. Because of the blue bulb, the foglight housing looks a little blue. The light they emit is nearly a pure white. They run $30 w/out shipping and handling.

If you're on a REALLY tight budget, I'll sell you mine. PM me for full details.

Hoen Foglights
Remember, our foglights are H11.

Thanks dude. That was probably the best answer I could have gotten. :clap:

No worries, it's what I do best :thumbsup:

I would reccommend Sylvania Silverstars for the high beams.
It's a pure white light, not to mention street legal and great for visibility.

I have to completely disagree. Yes the silverstars give out a nice white, BUT after 5 bulbs I can say that they do not last long. I've had 3 that burnt out within 2 months, especially when used for high beams. Ones used in low beams or fog have lasted me 3-4 months.

Now saying that these bulbs cost nearly 35$ each its a total rip off. I've had more succes with cheap arse ebay "xenon" imitation bulbs that emit the same light and last much longer. Be careful though, dont get some over wattage bulbs as they will probably burn your wiring/harness.

Seeing as you have 12000k's for lows you should really go with 4300k's for fogs as stated before. It will look good and your gonna feel like your driving in the daylight during night!

Yeah, but sad part is that his foglights will actually be brighter than his low beams.

This frekingwilly is a GENIUS or whatt... :clap:
