All seem to be having 6000K or closer to 6000K color temperature. How good are LEDs with 6000K in wet weather? I'm asking because I wasn't happy with 6000K HIDs in wet weather. I almost felt like driving without lights.

Anything after 6000k is horrid in fog and gloomy weather with rains

Always leave atleast a fog light set with standard halogen for emergencies,  I've had to pull over and swap in my h11 globes once after going all led

Genuine Philips or osram leds will run near 300usd more for shipping and customs, I doubt it will not be that feasible blowing 40 grand for blue light when there are other cheaper options with the same lifespan

Even 4300K HID is somewhat difficult to drive with in rain. As TIV mentioned if you are going down the route of HID/LED you need to have a set of yellow bulbs(halogen or 3000k HID/LED) in your vehicle.

Would it be taxed? I have brought down HID kits in the past and they came through customs without a problem.

Is it legal to have 3000k headlamp bulbs?

Osram LED F1s are below 100. However they are styling bulbs pretty much useless in any sort of weather. But looks good. Even the more expensive ones that come with DRLs are pretty bad in terms of visibility.

I checked at halogen options too. When I search more on the Phillips I found that more the light out put you get, lesser the lifespan.

Anyways since this thread is for LED headlights don't want to divert the topic.
