    I want/need HID's in my truck because I live on back country roads where deer like to randomly cross. My problem is, I can't decide what to do. Everything I am reading says that 55w kits are almost double the light output but that they tend to wash out the color. So here are my options and I would like ya'lls opinions.

    1) just get 35w for both in the same color

    2) get 55w for the headlights and 35w for the foglights risking them being a similar but possibly different color

    3) get 55w for the headlights and 35w for the foglights but step up the temperature on the headlights risking them being a similar but possibly different color

    4) get 6000k 55w headlights and the yellow 3000k 35w foglights, know that they are a different color but they are obviously different and not annoyingly different.

    for those with 55w head and 35w fog, do the colors match? Do they look like two different colors?
