ready to buy fog bulbs help

The 2 links down below, the packaging looks different slightly on the $50 one. Are those fakes and the cheap ones? I just want to know what im buying and want the real PIAA, not phony ones. Are there any places that are cheap that have them in united states, looks like its coming from hong kong. That takes too long to ship for standard shipping. where did everyone get theres?

so are these closer to stock HID looks or the 4k temp xtreme whites? Probably the xtreme force is.

no. the stock HIDs arent even blue or white at all. i would say, and i think most will agree, that the stock HIDs look like really bright halogen bulbs

xtreme force will be too white/blue for stock HIDs imho. of those two choices, go with xtreme white.

alot of people said the xtreme white doesnt change the stock bulb really anything its just 4k temp.

I just tried the extreme white and it sucks ***. Looks a little lighter than stock bulbs and it's still yellow. Any pics of the xtreme force? Willing to try those.
