    Replaced the fog bulbs to more closely match the Xenons. Big pics. Dial up warning!

    I didn't want it to look too bluish. The pic may not be the best but it has a very "white" look to it, similar to the Xenons after the first minute or so of firing up. I witnessed them coming at me from a distance and they have a bit of a blue "pop" to them like the Xenons do when you hit a few bumps in the road. Of all the fogs I've ever tried to match with Xenons, these come the closest. I also included the packaging in case you're interested.

    Where did you pick these up? Did you put them in yourself?

    Your best bet is convert your fogs to real hid xenon system.

    I'll try and answer a few questions here:

    Yes, I did them myself. Easy to do, about 15 minutes a side. I just ordered them online. A simple Google search of the bulb, from the picture I provided of the container, will get you good results.

    They match the color of Xenons better than any other fog bulb I've used before. I know they don't throw off much light and they are pretty much useless in my opinion, but I was sick of the pure white Xenon versus yellowish tint fog bulb. They now match.

    Yes, the totally correct thing to do would be to do the Xenon upgrade, but I was looking for an easy fix. I honestly don't use my fogs much at all so it wasn't something I wanted to drop a ton of cash on. $60 for bulbs is about it for me in this case.
