    Ok to start things off, I have a 2002 grand prix se, just doing visual mods at the moment.

    I currently have the black spyder projectors. I want to get hids, swtichbacks, and possibly fogs with halos.

    My biggest pet peeve is having non-matching lights....

    And here is where I need some opinions...

    What temperature hids look best with the led switchbacks? Ive read 6k looks best with them, but anyone on here have experience with them?

    Also, for fog lights with halos, does anyone have any that are similar in color to the spyder projectors? some halos I have seen are way bluer than the spyder projectors.... Ive heard P6s have good output....

    Anyway, any suggestions or pictures would be great!

    switchbacks are going to be WHITE, so i bet 4300K will look closer to them.

    I'm the same way, I wanted the fog lights to match my projectors so I went and installed the p6 projector. the problem with the p6 projectors are that the halo ring needs to be sealed all the way around. I learned the hard way and had to replace the led. I went ahead and installed brighter leds to better match the halo leds on the headlights, the original leds had a blueish color to them. also your going to have to modify the p6 bracket so it can be used with the original fog light bracket.
