Its too cold out for shorts and tshirt.

ahaha...just trying to justify my point.

I really dunno why theirs didn't match. Myself and other members have no issues whatsoever.

Mine don't match yet. I like the look of your lights but I don't see any like them in my future. Your car is most def unique.

Headlights: Stock HIDs
Clearance: PIAA Superplasma
Fogs: PIAA Crystal Ion



Notice how my stock hids still make the superplasmas look kinda yellow. Here's a theory: Aftermarket HID bulbs w/higher K are not truly brighter, just more color. Since there's more of a reflection in the light housing, maybe that causes the clearance lights to look more purple/blue or whatever?

This is my finding and this is mainly from a distance of 10 feet or beyond looking at the front of the car.... I have the polarg parking lights and even though they are not exact they are the best match i have found... The fog's and high beams look best with Piaa's xtreme white from a distance of about 10 feet and further.... When you get closer to the car from 10 feet the more you can tell the difference but it's not very significant.

So what's the consensus? PIAA Super Plasmas match well in the fogs, but not in the clearance lights? What kind of bulb goes into the clearance light?

Your clearance bulbs look like they have a slight purple tint to them like the super plasmas or is the pic deceiving?

polarg m4 hyper whites look nice right next to the stock HID. I have the piaa xtreme white fogs, and they pretty close once they are warmed up.

I actually want to try PIaa Super Plasma for H#s now if people say its closer.... hmm...
