Poll: What fog bulbs most closely match the OEM high beams (4300k)?

Sorry about this annoying thread... i'm sure you've seen similar threads and i'm sure everybody is sick of seeing fog light threads.

I was thinking either PIAA Super Plasma GTX or something like that... basically just want to closely match my OEM HID's. Thanks in advance.

No halogen bulb can match HIDs....that is just the sad case. I've tried many and all look yellow compared to the lowbeams. The closest match I had, even whiter than Piaa GT-X was MTEC on eBay.

n3985 thanks I tried those MTECs but my right one had burned out. Thinking I might try the PIAA's or eventually go HID with it

Sorry for the intrusion/hijack, but I'm a newbie (can't post new threads) with a headlight problem on my 2002 SE. DS quit working and I'm unsure where to start troubleshooting. Buying a new bulb was my first thought.... OUCH!

I someone has experience with this could you please drop me a line? Thanks... Brian

Apologies again for the intrusion. Once I get my HID's working again, I'll get right on an answer to that fog light question!

PIaa super plasmas are pretty close. I had them on for awhile til I upgraded my HIDs to 8500k.

I was also wondering about this. I searched ebay for gtx and I got a few different sizes. What is the correct size to fit in my 02 OEM foglights?
Does anyone have pics of the Piaa's or Mtecs? Thanks
