They look the same to me. Also fogs will be slightly different in color compared to real projector lenses and cutoff line. Most of the color in the projectors are at the cutoff line where its supposed to be. The fogs are made for halogens.

Different manufactures have different versions if colors. Same thing happen to me when I did my buyhids retros and fogs. Both 12k but fogs are a lil darker.

i know the pic shows like that, on you site if you look at the color pics, the fogs look like 12k's and the headlights are like 8k's which they should, why this concered me is that a cop had to make a big deal about it

i was trying to color match you know how i had those 10k's and stock fogs looked like crap now its like i put those aftermarket LED fogs with the color change, so i might buy the kit for the 6k's just to fix it.

fact of the matter is a dick hole cop had to pull me over not 2 days after install. when they turn on its like a blueish purple they do whiten up a bit but with just the fogs on the snow is baseicaly blue.
