Yes, disconnected my DRL's this time though. I'm about 90% sure that's what toasted my other ones. Funny thing is though, for the past week and a half my HIDs have worked fine. I still dont have high-beam in my driver's side, but my passenger bulb started working again. Weird.

WOLFMAN AK907 wrote:Well, living in alaska and also working for a trucking company on the ice roads I can tell you I've tried almost every kind of light they make to date. What I can tell you is if you genuinely want a fog light that will actuall pierce the fog and increase your visibility you want yellow 3000K. Blue tends to work the best in a bad snow storm however pure white is the best for pitch black night. Color at that point is just for looks, and theres nothing wrong with that. We use a lot of Australian "Light Force" lights or "Roo-Lites" up here, they have a bunch of different color lenses you can buy. I've noticed on those that the red and green lense covors do nothing, they just look cooler.


Yeah that is true, I should go yellow because they do produce more illumination in the first place. The lower the kelvin the higher the illumination as you know.

Yes in a way...Kelvin actually only measures color tempature. The lower it is usually is brighter, but HID brightness is actually measure in Lumens.
