Which fog Bulbs to match stock HId's?
I know this has probably been covered 100 times, but since search is down 
....
I am interested in getting rid of the stock fog light bulbs in my 2002 max. I want a bulb that looks white, or even HID white, so it flows better from the front.
I can see by most of your sigs that you guys already did this to your rides.
I was wondering which bulbs are the ones to get? and where to buy....
Thanks for all input

I would say the PIAA H3 Platinum would be your best match.
I'd say Xtreme White, which would be a little yellowish compared to the stock HID and Super Plasma, which would be a little purplish compared to the stock HID. Either way, you'll never win. It's a lose-lose situation. If you want a win-win situation, you gotta change your stock HID bulbs and get HID fogs. Good luck.

This topic has been beaten to death, and the conclusion is SUPER PLASMA is the closest match to HIDS. I have gotten so many compliments, "d@m dude, how much did u pay for that HID conversion fogs? Theyre a perfect match"
Just look at the haze around, Ask Igor911, I believe he's had both as well

I appreciate all of the pics everyone posted.
Anyone know of the cheapest place to get them?

What is the size/designation of the running light bulbs? i.e. the high beams are 9005's and the fogs are h3's so I was wondering what the running lights were. (Just for verification I mean the ones right above the turn signals and next to the low beams in case those lights aren't actually called running lights)

The 168 SP wedge bulbs look a blue-green when on. They actually look worse than the picture....

FWIW, my LCD is broken and I can't turn the flash off. You can either deal with it until I get a new camera or you can send me one in the mail...

Your pic was pointless. Find someone with a camera you can borrow or go cry about it to ur mama.

Oh, Holy One.....I apologize for offending thee.
You don't like my pic, take a close one of your own to prove how well they match. Who knows, maybe I got a bad batch....

Your eyes must be playing a trick on you because those bulbs match 100%.

Still, you stated I don't have the SP's which I do. Then you didn't like my picture taking skillz and yell at me for it <sniff>. THEN you bring my momma into it....Thems figten werds!!!
Anyway, if I get a chance to take a better pic, without flash, I will post it up. Again, unless I have a bad batch, there is no way the SP 168's match the factory HIDs.....

Why can't you just put your hand over the flash when taking the pic??
