D3S bulbs. Either order through Ford or DDM Tuning is the only other place to get them.

I personally would do 5000K.

I read somewhere the fogs are around 5700K or something like that. I think it was noted on a Facebook post by The Retrofit Source.

I would rather have the headlights "whiter" than the fog lights simply because the fogs will be drown out by the headlights. Having "bluer" headlights will make the fogs appear as hot spots.

Essentially, white fades into blue easier than blue fades into white.

Replacement bulbs I assume is what you are talking about?

If though HIDs are cheap, I would still rather know I am pay for a decent quality product than what most "custom" shops carry and charge.

DDM Tuning has good products. Although they can be hit or miss sometimes, they are still decent as compared to what's out there.

I wish TRS would offer some D3S bulbs.

I only had one problematic instance with DDM, in which I had a set of bulbs come to me and not match. Didn't mess with sending back for a new pair so I sold them to some HS kid with a 300ZX. :lol:

DDM is hit or miss.
