PIAA Xtreme white to match your headlights and PIAA ion crystal to get a contrast look with a yellowish fog light.

Xtreme White is good, but I would probably buy Super Plasma if I had second chance.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions! I might get the yellowish one to have a contrast in color. Thanks again for the info.

I've heard fog light replacements don't last very long. How long will the Super Plasmas last with normal driving hours??

Thank You.

i got a pair of piaa 1000x. they're pretty much the brightest fog lamps/lights that u can buy. they are not just the bulb, so unless you have a few hours to spare, they're a pain the **** installing them, but man are they bright. and i personally think that they look awesome. i'll send u pics if u want...just pm me.

Is anyone just buying a replacement bulb for the fog lights instead of the whole system thingy?

From my experience, Xtreme whites aren't quite blue enough, and others are a little too blue. Some like more blue.

Here's a pic of my lights if it helps.

No problem fitting..... but I can bet they will only last for a few months before you have to buy a new set..... a year at most, if you're lucky.

simple logic for use in everyday life: you get what you pay for

Pay $9 for bulbs, expect them to burn out quickly, give off horrible light and possibly melt your harnesses.

Thats not true, my friend bought the expensive PIAAs and hes on his second pair in 1 year. How long do those 9 dollars ones last for?
