Best PIAA Fog bulb for HID look?

As far as my experience with PIAA's are concerned, I'd go with the Plasma. Currently I've got Xtreme Whites for my clearence and side marker bulbs and I'm not pleased with them at all, they're pretty off compared to the HID. I have some PIAA Super Tera's that I'll be switching those out with in the next couple days.
Also as far as fogs are concerned, you may want to explore some other brands. Right now I've have MTEC Fog lights and those are very close to matching the HID. If you are standing above it and looking at an angle, you'll notice a slight tint of blue, but if you bend down and look directly into the beam (and don't go blind!) there's no difference whatsoever.

I think I saw those Xtreme Force bulbs.. expensive.. like 85/pr and on ebay... Shipped from Japan no less!

MTECS = 4350k
PIAA Xtreme White = 4000k
It makes sense that the MTEC's are a closer match
The PIAA Xtreme Force have a color temp of 4700k.

MTEC is supposed to be comparable to PIAA. Be SURE to buy the real one... theres ALOT of fake ones out there! Do a search for ways to tell between the real ones and the fake ones. The packages are slightly different. Also, MTEC also carries higher wattage bulbs that are brighter. These might look even closer to the HIDs. But remember, higher wattage bulbs usually have a slightly shorter lifespan.
