Hey guys, I have been looking around and I know there have been some other comparisions out there on which foglights match the stock HID best, but I could not find any comparing all of these together so I thought I'd ask.
First of all, I have a 2004 black X. From what I understand, the low beams are 5000K stock. So on to the dilemma: Which bulb? I want to have at least the same light output as stock (which shouldn't be a problem) and match the stock HID without having too much of a blue tint.

These are the 5 I have been looking at.

1: Philips Crystal Vision 4000K
2: Philips Diamond Vision 5000K
3: Philips Blue Vision 4000K
4: Sylvania SilverStar 4000K?
5: Osram Silverstar ?K

The Philips Blue Vision that is 4000K seems to be a european model also. Is this the same as the crystal vision here in the US kinda like Osram and sylvania have some similar models?
Can we keep the discussion between these bulbs?

 

ive had both silverstars and blue vision

i hated all three of them

but i loved my piaas

piaas are pricey though..picked mine up on ebay for a 1/2 the price or something

xtreme force will give you a white output with a hint of blue
xtreme white will give you a pure white output

at least from my experiences..

 

What exactly did you hate about the other bulbs?

 

IMO they were not white at all

but other people love them and think they are the best/whitest bulbs available

but thats just my opinion..you could like them..to each their own

 

OK, I am just trying to get a feel for what is out there. Thanks for the input. Anyone else have comments about the bulbs listed above?

 

oh yeh..and i liked the silverstars more then the philips blue vision

 

silverstars didn't last on my wife's civic....only for about a year, and one went out right after the other

 

piiiiiiiaaaaaaaa

 

I have the PIAA Xtreme white ones. Picked them up from Mynismo for like $60 or so?

 

I just got the Osram Silverstars and they do not match the HID's at all. In fact they're almost the same shade/color of yellowish as the stock fogs were. I'm thinking PIAA from here, just trying to decide which one.
