After hours of research..whats the answer?

I have read so much in this form and others re: what to use for fogs to make them look like our OEM HIDS...but there is no consensus...what do you guys think...which bulbs match our HIDs best?

Are there Xenon bulbs out there for our fogs/highs?

If you wanna make your fog light have a xenon bulb its going to take come modding.

You have to get a xenon bulb and its balast. You cant just put a xenon bulb in where the fog lights are.

As for making them match, i havent done it yet, but from what i have seen is people getting piaa bulbs.

Just bought the MTEC H4's with the blue caps. Looks very close, although it does have a blue ring around it when you look closely though, I like it. I'm happy and for $30 bucks(shipped), I don't think you can go wrong.

Off of ebay, here's one link, the other plus is that he guarantees them for life.

A lot of people do say that the PIAA extreme whites are the closest match. I'm sure you can find some on Ebay for a decent price.
