Part Number: PIA15555
Bulb Type: H3
Wattage: 55w = 85w, 5000K

With a rating of 5000K, the Super Plasma bulbs will give your factory fog lights a beautiful bluish purple look.

check these out...i think they should be pretty close to our HID's since they give off a purplish look...

A company called Grille-tech uses my picture for their grilles, dont buy from them, the product sucks. You can get Mille's at WWW.Tirerack.com

I use the PIAA extreme whites and I think they match pretty well. Not too blue.
