headlamp and fog replacement bulb choices

I'm planning on gettingrid of the oem bulbs for a better aftermarket replacement. I understand that some work great on a dry night, but when its raining, some are horrible in wet weather. Does anyone use the PIAA Xtreme white headlamp bulb and pair it with the ion crystal foglamp bulb with the amber tint? Thats the combo that I have in mind.... My vision isnt the greatest, and am seeking to improve visibility at night, in all weather conditions. I'd appreciate anyone throwing out some suggestions on the matter. PIAA's are kinda pricey.....but if they work, I'd get 'em. Its a much better way than getting some cheap POS that worthless.

I'm using the PIAA Xtreme Whites for both heads and fogs. I like them both very well.

Ive got the PIAA Xtreme White Fogs in and they're great. I put them in in Feb. and havent had any problems at all. And as far as color choices go, get white all the way.

I have the stock bulbs, they actually work in the rain. With the amber clearence lights there is a nice contrast. The fogs I have hella super golds or something.

thanks for the input, fellas..............I wasn't sure whether I wanted to go with an amber or white fog lamp bulb. SInce you guys are having good results with the white, even is $hitty weather, I just may lean towards the all white.
