well, id been running 10000k HID's in the aveo for a couple months and decided to make a change.

i didn't like the colour of the HID's at night as i found it really hard to see (vs 4300k or 5000k)

so i had 1 5000k bulb kicking around (bixenon H4/9003) and i still had a pair of 3000k's....so i popped in one of each

the pics i took made the 5000k look blue, but in real life its white white white w/o ANY blue.

haven't really had the chance to try it at night yet...

I definitely like the white better than the Yellow! I've heard the yellowish color is better in fog or snow, but I'd rather have the white for driving and maybe the yellow for fogs. Even then i guess I'm just not a yellow light lover........

Yellow is for fogs and fogs only. Right now it looks like you have a busted halogen in the right headlight.

4300K in both headlights, and 3K in the fogs (if you decide to equip the Aveo with them).
