I have HID's in both headlights and foglights and man there is no comparison. I have had them on three different vehicles and will always put them on my vehicles. I run 8k bulb in my heads for a light blue and run 6k which is light blue/white. I did that because I like the way 8k looks but since the fogs mainly light up the road that white 6k bulb is the ticket. i run a 20 inch LED bar in the front fascia and the color of my fogs match the LED color. I have tried those sylvania bulbs before and they cant touch the brightness of HIDS. I got all 4 bulbs and ballasts for less than $150 of hidsrus.com. this is a great company and they have a two year warranty on everything for free. I had one bulb burn out and had a brand new one within a week. Also the ballast are waterproof and shock proof, I have had the whole thing under water and bouncing around going through trails with no problem.

I was wondering what color hids to get to match my led bar, so 6k matches the led bars?

Idk why the LED has a yellow tint to it in the pic. The best match for a HID bulb to LED is a 5k bulf it is pure white and also the brightest HID bulb there is. I just like the blueish tint to the light.

I believe LEDs are 6K, so you should get 6K for the HIDs, 35Watts. On 50 Watts you should get a higher K.
Btw, they are extremely bright, cause unbelievable amount of glare to other drivers. They completely light up a two story building that is 10 meters away from you and a 5 story building 50 meters down the road, the light pattern is that spread out (bad). They're perfect offroad.

There are direct replacement LED bulbs for the fog lights. I bought 20 watt H10 off of ebay. They do throw a wider pattern than the stock bulbs, not as bright 100 feet but brighter side to side.

Ended up doing a bunch of searching and reading and picked some 42W 12V yellow H10 bulbs off E bay. They were offering them at Bid so I got 'em for $11 s/h included Lol!
They are awesome....very bright.

I just custom mounted 4" round led for the fog lights, they are insanely bright, 4200 lumens
