Right now, all my lights are mismatched. I have 7000k Hanabi HID's, then i got some blue lights in the corner lights from my previous ricer lights, and i have stock lights in my fogs. All in my 99.

Now here is what i need to know:
-For people with 7000K hid's, what lights (brand name) is in ur corner lights (1157), that will match
-What fogs (H3), will match my hid's? ... and no im not buying 7000k hids in H3.

Doesnt have to match exactly, but it should all flow..
In the clear corners im leaving amber, to keep the cops happy

Hit me back with any suggestions
People with 7000k hids..SPEAK UP!

You can't match 7000K HID's with any halogen type bulb. Contrast your corners by using yellow bulbs. That way they'll match your blinkers in your bumpers. As far as your fogs go, your never going to come close to the color and intensity of your HID's.

I'd go with amber for the corner lights too...i have stock 03 maxima hid's on my 98 and tried many bulbs for the corners...never did match enough to keep me happy...i went amber and they look sweet...as for the fogs??? i'm still tryin' i'm hoping that someone will come up with a solution that we could go yellow (i'm sure there's something that can be done****project****)...IS300 type of yellow...

Ehhh...it sucks how nothing will fit in the corners that will match the headlights.
For the fogs, would there be something or anything that will be close?? Any type of light that is blue will look good, but obviously wont compare to the beautiful hid's :P

Should i get amber? or yellow lights for the corners? which look better?

Get some 7000k fogs to match the heads, and unplug your clearance and side markers...

I once bought some corner bulbs from ebay that match my 7000K HIDs. Incredible? no because one did match but the other one looked more blue. Then they send me a replacement and it was a weird looking bulb so I decided to stay with amber bulbs. I have a picture of how it looks I'll post it when I get home.
And for my fogs I have the PIAA super plasma and they look just like my HIDs

Most cars that have HIDs and fogs standard from the factory dont match (obviously). This way, it looks stock. To maintain the stock appearance (to make it seem as if your car had come standard with HIDs from the factory), why not leave the bulbs in there the way they are rather than changing them around or unplugging them? The only thing I would agree with doing is making the fogs yellow...that way it would emulate the lexus IS/GS

There are no foglight bulbs available that are yellow enough to emulate an IS/GS. Both PIAA and Hella make yellow bulbs, but they both have way too much whitish in them.

Stop being cheap and go buy some HID fogs to match the heads, it's the only way to go!!!!
