I got the extreme whites for my fogs. Its a tiny bit yellowish but its pretty bright white. Not a perfect match for stock hids but meh... You can see a blue tint from an angle in your housing but not directly from the lights. I wanted to get the intense but it was sold out~ The ones I got are rated at 4000k. Hope this helps~

I had the xtreme white which is around 4150K. You could tell they weren't the same kelvin as the HIDs but they were a pretty close match. I also tried out the MTEC H4s that are also really close.

I have a set of each for sale if you were interested. Just PM me if you're interested.

yellow light is the best for visibility in rain and fog. i have the gt-x in h1 - more of a purple color but i like the difference.

I originally changed out my fogs to MTEC Super Whites....they were 4150K
I then installed the MTEC Cosmos 4750K...I liked these because the coating on the bulbs were not straight blue.

I attached some pics of the Cosmos bulbs....you be the judge.

They definitely are weaker in distance compared to stock...so if its look your after, these maybe a good candidate.

Raybrig White Sonic. Granted, they don't last that long, but neither do PIAAs. Cleaner than most PIAAs, and cheaper.

I installed them in Oct. 05. I use them anytime I use the headlights.....so they have some time on them.

they are both fogs and high beams right?
That is correct, but you do sacrafice some distance to achieve a better color match......
