Hid/angel light question

Hi gays, I just ordered a set of orion v4 angel lights 6000k from umnitza and will be upgrading the xenon with osram to match the angel lights (6000k) but I want to also match the fog lights and was wondering what's the best option without breaking the bank.

I read something about a hid kit for the fog lights, if so what kit is that and where to buy????

Also, is it possible to convert the high beams to hid/projectors or is it better to leave it the way it is, is it to difficult to do, will it need coding?

My idea was to match all the lighting to 6000k.

Btw, my car has xenon/halogen with the adaptive system, 2005 model if it makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Never mind about the bi-xenon/projector retrofit. It looks like it's pretty involved and I'm not into that now.

I have LED fog lights from morimoto and they match very well. Same setup headlight wise as you

I found those online last night, do you happen to have the part number, what color temp?

Thanks

Here’s the exact ones I have, 5500k.

I love my Morimoto fogs, but *still* need to adjust their height correctly :facepalm

Get the Morimoto LED fogs... the light output from them are amazing and when on cars move out of your way.... I have these on both my ZHP and M3 :)

Thanks guys, any pics of them installed?

Never mind, just found a bunch of pics

It looks like they don't have a set with 6000k twmp

LED bulbs could fit the bill for the fog lights. You can do HID, but it really starts to mess the LCM and cluster in our cars after awhile. It still affects it even when you run a wiring harness. You would need to have a complete separate switch not tied to the LCM to be safe imo.

the v4s are closer to like 6500k imo. so even the osrams bulbs will be whiter.

I'd just leave the high beams alone. Unless you're actually using them.

Thanks for your input, I decided not to touch the high beam for that very same reason. I didn't know about the v4's looking more like 6500k. I'm going to upgrade the hid's with osram from ümnitza as they said they will match the v4's.

I'm thinking about going with Luxen led's suggested by ümnitza as well but I'm still debating if to upgrade the fog lights to projectors from them too or keeping the stockers as I haven't found info of their projectors, if they are good or bad.

Morimoto is the way I would like to go as I read yesterday great things about that set of fog lights but my main concern is to try to match the colors as perfect as possible (low beams, fogs and angel lights).

Wonder if v2's would be a better alternative as I see you can pick a different color temp.

Update, I'm keeping the v4's since I forget they have more led's and it looks like you can't barely see the individual leds compared to the v2's, so im keeping the ones I already ordered.

What do you guys suggest?

Ended up ordering the osram bulbs for the low beams, morimoto fog lights and will be ship out tomorrow along with the v4 angel eyes from ümnitza. I need to take the whole headlights apart to rebuild or replace the wiring as it is on bad shape.

sounds good. I would have suggested against the projector fogs. they suck lol Should be fine, I think in pictures, all the lights will match. In person it'll be slightly off. the osrams would match the fogs better than the angels imo.
