Best PIAA Fog bulb for HID look?
#31
I'm a fan of LED wedge bulbs to tell you the truth. They don't match the factory HIDs but the slightly blue hue is mesmerizing The PIAA Super Whites have a little purple-yellowish look to me. The MTECs are great for your fog lights, that's what I have. Don't know what's wrong with the link, check the entire thread, the posts I linked are on the last page:

Hey Finity:
I'm planning on ordering all bulbs needed today. In the thread you posted i noticed you mentined liking Wedge 6 LEDs better than the PIAAs Super White and that's what i'm planning on getting.
I noticed you recommended www.superbrightleds.com and i see them there:
Now i'm planning on getting these bulbs as my clearance and side markers light but i wanted to double check with you if i do need to purchase the resistor as well?
Each "white" LED comes out to $3.64 and the each resistor is $4.95. When you get a chance let me know if i need a resistor with each LED or if i wont need the resistor at all...
Thanks for taking the time to help me out...
Birdman:
I'll be ordering the MTEC Super Whites today, I still see them on ebay with the blue ring so i probably get those...
Thank you

Sorry to get back to you so late in the game, The MTEC's are the Super White I think you have the same packaging as the ones I bought. The Piaa Extreme White Bulbs are 168/194 type. They are 5 Watt bulbs.
You can find them online. I purchased mine from import performance warehouse

The reason why I like the 6LEDs better than the PIAA white/white LEDs is first because they're only ~$7 for 2 as opposed to $18 for the PIAAs and second because they're brighter and fill the clearance strip better. What I did was purchase 4 extra ones and I replaced my trunk, license plate and upper glove box lights, and I love how all of them look now. You might want to consider that too and only pay once for shipping.
The reason why I said I like the 6LEDs better than the PIAA Xtreme Whites (non-LED) is because LEDs look much cooler even though the actual light output is less. Some people are scared they'll get pulled over for running LEDs with a blue hue, but the 6LEDs aren't that blue at all.. you should see the 9LED I have now..
And you're very welcome, I'm still experimenting myself..

Fogs
Thanks guys, I didn't realize there is a metal clip on both sides of the fog light bulb, and since I didn't take the wheels off it was hard for me to get to them, but once I knew there are two clips I got them out and put new ones in in no time.
I went with Catz Super whites H4s for the fogs, which match pretty close to the HIDS, but would go with MTECs if I had to do it again, and PIAA LED white/white for the clearence strip which light up the strip nicely but are bluer then the rest of the bulbs.
