Bulb ratings 2500k to 8500k

[Guest]

I know we have taked about bulbs before but was thinking of maybe putting yellow H3 bulbs to replace the standrd H3 fog light bulbs.

Main reason is I have the phillips bulbs in the head lights / full beam which are very very good but in the rain maybe some yellow spot lights might help?

I have seen yellow H3's in 2500K, 3500K 6000K 8500K.
Whats are some opinions with the light they give off?

What would be best for fog/rain/snow well mainly rain and a bit of fog.

But then again the yellows may look poo? (But good in the rain for driving at night), while the white/blue look good.

for me I'd use 3500k for H3 (Fog Lights)

and currently using 8000k for both H7 and H1 (Lo and Hi)

all are in HID's too.. and I dont think bright yellow light might look like poo.. I see alot of JDM cars that are using it.. saw a black car with 3500k (yellowish) bulbs.. its looks really nice..

3500 best for rain/fog driving but they're very yellow

6000 is best for normal/high beams, white light with a hint of blue,
8500 is deffinately blue, and not as good as 6000 for night driving.

that said i think the yellow looks poo. id be putting 6k in them if i were you.
