Fogs to match my HIDs

I can't stand the colour difference between my fogs and my HIDs. Has anyone replaced the bulbs in their fogs to match their HIDs? If so what were they?

The best way is to get HID fogs as well...

There is no such thing as HID fogs..... Unless you are talking about the fake HID super whites fogs lights which would look stupid because one would look real (headlights) and the other would look fake (fogs). Super whites fogs bulbs looks like someone took a regular bulb and put blue cellophane tape over it. Like the two guys in the earlier said post go with the Lexus look with yellow fogs.

Well, actually, you can put HID's in your fog lights...it just take you modifying the housing yourself. A few folks here have done that.

Also, I'd look at Raybrig White Thunder if you want to get a good color match with H3 bulbs.

PIAA Xtreme Whites match really well. Here are some pics if you're interested: http://photos.yahoo.com/y2kevse (click on HIDs).

I got PIAA Super Plasma last week, because I couldn't stand the stock foglights. They looked pale yellow compared to my Panasonic HIDs.
I had seen the Super Plasma on dmbmaxima88's 2002, and they looked good. As Y2KevSE said, Xtreme Whites may be a good choice. If possible, look at them on another car, or try out different bulbs.

I have/had the PIAA Ion Crystal H3's for my fogs. When I had my regular headlight housing I had the panasonic H4 HID kit and I got tired of trying to match that output. I just got the PIAA's to get a contrasting look.

Now that I have the 2k2 housings, I have the PIAA's still, and I also got 194 Ion Crystals to match in the clear fronts and the parking lamps in the housings. I am pleased. I am contemplating doing the foglight HID conversion, but still don't know for sure.
