and yes, order 9006. These are a good match to the HIDs... unlike the PIAA's... trust me, i know. lol

Your gonna have to remove half of the intakes to get to the fog lights. its fairly easy. I have done it and many others have as well.

Ya I do have PIAA fogs right now. But I ordered Hoens cuz I wasnt happy with the PIAAs. Here is the link to the pics I posted:

Hoens are a good match... I have a buddy here who bought the Hoens and have installed it and said it was a good match.

No worries. It seems like he was talkin about a different bulb. A 7100K type bulb. This hoen bulb is not that. The hoen bulb is 4000K type bulb.

If i'm going to bother trying to get them to match, instead of screwing around with $40 bulbs here, $35 there, i'll just get HIDs.

I got the Hoen Bulbs they matched the Stock perfectly and it never got hot.




But I upgraded my Bulbs to 6000k So now I'm planning on getting 6000k Hids for my fogs.
