Pro Comp Off Road Lights: HID Conversion.
H3, 6000K is what I got.
H.I.D. stands for High Intense Discharge.
First I asked myself what color bulb do I want. I wanted the brightest white. I referred to the color chart and saw that 5000K has a lil yellow cast, 8000K has a lil blue cast, 6000K was perfect.

Bulb Color Chart:
3000K: Gold (highest lumen output)
4300K: OEM slightly off-white
5000K: pure white
6000K: white w/ hint of blue
8000K: blue
10000K: ultraviolet
the best nighttime piercing light is 3000K hands down. I've got 4300K which are barely noticeable of the yellow (which is what you want).
none of those are "equivalent". they all have different numbers because they all have their own differences. FYI 9008 was made up by Ford. The correct term is H13.

I don't really like the blue cast thatz why I went with 6000.
How many fog lights are you going to covert to HID?

2 as in 2 pairs which makes it four lights or 1 pair 2 lights. Anyway, the HID kit includes 2 bulbs and 2 ballasts. So if you are converting 2 LIGHTS then you only need 1 HID kit.

Just found this thread! OGTerror referred me to this site off of a youtube vid 
Way to plan with buying a "just in case" kit! I ended up doing the same thing, but in my case my sister came to "help" and tossed my harness and light down the driveway.
