Default Quick Q on hyper white high beams and fog lights to match HIDs

I just picked up a set of the 6K HID conversions from vividracing and would like to have my fogs somewhat match the same lighting color/level. I ran into the same problem with my S4, the head lights were white/blue and the fogs looked yellow/brown compared to the HIDs Any suggestions would be cool.

you arent gonna match them.

the fog reflectors are to large to accurately focus the color of the bulbs....no matter what brand/ type of bulbs, they will never match...to much light is dispersed. so yeah, HID fogs is the way to go to match them....

you can also do what i did, accept the fact about the fogs, and try a color to contrast it...ie Hella Yellowstars or PIAA Ion Crystals...they are yellow and shine yellow. along with my polarg VIP's in the Heads, kinda gives the car a Lexus IS300 look.....

Unhappy Pathetic Fog Light

The cheapest is to get the blue bulb but at 80W or less just to have the matching color and have no lighting function.

Or do what ATX25RS recommends: Yellow fog lights

And when you have money falling from your ceiling, HID H3!

Don't go for the 100W, it'll burn the chrome cap on your housing and wiring.

that is what i am saying, you cant match with cheap "HID" hyperwhites...the reflectors are too large to focus the color of the bulbs......besides with bright HIDs in the heads the light form the fogs will be pushed into the background anyway.
