im sorry if this thread as been posted before but i could not locate it.....sorry once again, i was wondering what foglights our the best match to the stock H.I.D. (xenon) lights that our in our heads. or should i jsut think about gettin a set of ballast and xenons for the bottom

 

PIAA bulbs are the closest match without getting HID fogs.

 

contrast them. trying to match non-hid bulbs looks terrible.

 

I think getting the lexus capsules and keeping the glare shield looks best personally...

 

The color is what matters, not the way that color is produced, when matching bulbs! If you want contrast, keep the stock bulbs. Or... color the lenses yellow with a crayon.

Sooner is correct, the PIAA Super Plasma is probably the best match for the OE HIDs.

 

PIAA SUPER PLASMA GT-X H3 BULB: 55W=110W 5000K:

that's what I have..although there are some mixed reviews on these and other PIAA (expensive, short-lived on occasion, cracked foglight glass)

 

unless....they match

 

going off of the pic you posted and my personal experience, they color comes close but not great. Also, the light from non-hid bulbs just looks dirtier if you know what i mean.

But yea piaa gt-x superplasmas is as close as it gets

imo, for the money that youll spend on burnt out bulbs, youre probably better off just buying an hid kit for 200-250 and getting it right the first time.

 

when its dark and the lights are on...they look exactly the same in person because of the brightness and the way the eye sees it. i care more about how it looks in person (not a picture)

 

The GT-X is a newer, different bulb and does not match as closely as the original PIAA Super Plasma. Lucky me, I just seemed to have bought the last pair of bulbs on eBay!

 

this true. when i had to replace one it was different, so i had order another.
