Ok well the 4x is a higher output draw (W) so depends on the wattage of our fogs, in that case I think the 2x is correct?
What bulb did you recommend then the Sylvania OSGRAM? Isn't that what they sell at Walmart? At least PIAA has a reputation on their stuff, I think they have a white / clear bulb.
I agree projectors are better, the technology is simply more advanced than reflector no arguements there. I just want something to match the HID low beam so I can run with my fogs on, and not sacrifice too many lumens.

You need to find a vendor who sells Osram Silverstars NOT Sylvania Silverstars. They are the same company but the Osram bulbs are European spec and DO NOT come with a blue coating. I cannot remember off the top of my head what vendor I got it from. Try a search.
Here is a blurb about the Osram Silverstar line:

thanks, ebay time.
so these def produce near as much as the stock halogen yellow I would guess since the bulb is actually clear?
