HID's for Head and fog Lights

Where is everyone getting their HID's from. Not looking to spend a arm and a leg but trying to avoid flea bay stuff. Wanna run 8k's on the head lights and 8k on the fogs' both 35 watt versions. anyone also had problems with the lens on the fog lights melting or changing colors with hids?

Noob question time yaaaaay!!

Ok im still learning. I went and checked out the link in the above post, and you get to pick the color. The color is represented by a number, that I have not educated myself in. Would anyone like to explain the number to the class??

the smaller the number the closer you get to yellow like 3000 then 5000 is white and after that it turns blue and starts to get darker.also the lower numbers give you visibility and the higher ones are more for looks. hope that helps some

3k fogs, 5k driving.

PS - we have a vendor here that has great pricing and its a quality product.

6k+ has less output and worse drivability. Highest I would recommend is 5k. 4.3k is what OEM use.
