Default HIDs Yes or No?

Im thinking of HIDs 6000 for Headlights and 4300 for the fogs. This or behind grill lights? What brand is best and what to stay way from - Opinions and Pics Please.

I got my HID's in my headlights from unique coatings, they are a little expensive, but they come with lifetime warranty and I have had no problems. My fogs are from HID Extra, which will have mixed reviews on this board since they are hit or miss it seems.

I got mine from unique coatings also but IMO the lifetime warranty sucks because if you want to get anything replaced you need to take everything apart and send it back in. I had a bulb go out and a relay. It was faster for me just to suck it up and buy a new pair of bulbs on ebay for $10 shipped. When my relay went out he didnt have any replacements and didnt know when he would so again i had to ebay one for $30.

yes as daniel said there.. get the same temps for the fogs and the headlights.... the ones i've heard to stay away from, and ones my friends had on their motorbikes and turned out to be junk was called "eagle" and "beamer" ( im pretty sure thats the name brand) I just ordered some "yulon tech" its a pretty solid brand so far....
i got the 8000k for the headlights.
Gonna try that before i decide if i want the fogs..

btw... temps from 6000-8000k offer the most usuable light. just some info for ya!
