Where to get h4

Where can i buy a legit H4 bulb that actually is accurate of its description?

Bought one the other day from ebay. It claimed "Hyper white" and 5000k, yet i put it in and its the same yellowish as the OEM ugly fogs we have except a lil brighter...

Whats some place where I can get H4s that are white (want to match it with the low beam whites). Just bulbs no kits

Did you install the HID on your fog light ?

If you are using the regular halogen lights, I think it is hard for you to find one that will match the HID light output (low beam).

What color temperature do you use for your low beam (HID) ?

If you do have HID installed for your fog light then you should find the same seller for your low beam at least you are using the OEM 4300K (low beam).

My low beam is just the stock 03-05 lights, whatever that is. Its basically pure white. I bought H4 for my fogs that claimed "hyperwhite" and "5000k" (5000k is pretty much pure white in the color chart but it turned out yellow/same as the stock fogs pretty much.

This is what they looked like

and no it doesnt reflect blue when its off (i know what u mean) cause the lights have this little thing in front of it, like you actually can't see the bulb itself when looking at the lights.

I think you should find a better vendor who sells the real hyperwhite halogen.

Because my friend bought them from eBay and it is still yellowish color but whiter than the OEM one.

You get what you pay for ...
