see my homepage for JCWhitney bulbs. I posted pics in the 6th gen forums too, check out the thread there

PIAA are usually recommended, but they're too expensive for my tastes

Super plasma must be the best fog match, never heard anyone say they otherwise. Just ordered a pair along with some other piaa bulbs, gonna do a little swappin' then a fog re-wire.

PIAA are the closest you get to matching your HIDS.... I have had my PIAA for awhile now... no problems with them yet...

But, if you really want to match, get some H3's HIDS for the fogs...u'll be matching all the way, and lighting up the road ahead of ya

Indeed. I dont have HIDs, but I am running super plasma fogs and I must say they are a big difference compared to stock, and as most if not all people say the closest match to HIDs. So I say go with Super Plasma rather than Extreme Whites.

Oh I and i got my PIAAs off ebay... pretty cheap for a brand new set of bulbs.

YOU ARE TEMPTING ME FURTHER for super plasmas. And also, I was talking about the generic H3 bulbs.... PIAAs RULE without a doubt.

Today I installed Silverstar H3s and I'm satisfied with the results (whiter fog light). Extreme White or Super Plasma may be even better however.

eBay, or I think sounddomain.com has them for quite reasonable price.
