Fog Lights

I have an I30 that comes with HIDs. It ****es my off that my fogs "try" to be the same color but arent. Instead, I want to swith the bulbs to look like the Lexus fogs. Where can I order these online? What size do I need? Any recomendations? Thanks.

Good Luck finding fog light bulbs that will actually look "super white" I replaced my fog lights the same time I replaced my headlights with the Xenon "Super White" bulbs. The headlights look great but for some reason the fog lights are still that OEM yellow color even thought the bulbs are blue as they can be.

I have PIAA Extreme Super Whites and they actually do a very good job. Have had them nearly six months and they seem the closest to HID that I have seen. Hope this helps.

My recommendation:

Go here

Bulb type is H3.

I'm curious about you guys who want to change the "Fog lights" to something white like the HID's.

Wouldn't that just defeat the purpose of having fog lights in the first place?

Depends on where you're looking from. If you're sitting in the car (which is what REALLY matters), the light they emit is yellow, more so than a standard clear bulb. But if you're standing outside, in front of your car, and are expecting them to look as deep yellow as the Lexus lamps, than you'll be disappointed. Lexus uses yellow lenses or coated reflectors and a clear bulb to give off their yellow light. Philips uses a dichroic coating, applied to the quartz glass of the bulb to produce the selective yellow light.
