Guys!

A quick question:I want to change my fogs bulbs and parking lights to something light and matching to the original 2010 TL HID. I don't want them to look fake (I have seen some looks bluish). I don't mind paying a little more but getting the right color temperature.

Thanks

Well, my 2012 TL AWD originally came with osram xenarc d2s 66240 4300K oem. For me the oem 4300K was way to yellow so I upgraded to osram xenarc d2s 66240 CBI 5500K. I can't remember but I think the oem h11 halogen bulb in fogs will produce about 3800k-4000k color if that, as for the parking lights it is hard to match to 4300K. The leds might produce slight different color as there is so many different manufacturers.

As Jerry said, factory bulbs are 4300k, which is white with a tint of yellow. Keep in mind projectors will make the light appear different colors to people outside because of the colorband. They'll see purple/blue/white depending at the angle they're seeing the light.

You'll never get an exact match between low beams / fogs. I've tried 6k low beams and 6k HID fogs and the fogs were too blue. I've also tried 6k low beams and 5k HID fogs and the fogs are too white.

The closest I've seen (at least in pics) is 8k low beams and 6k fogs...but the 8k is not an ideal choice for low beams!

If you want halogen bulbs Hoen makes great bulbs that match most factory HID systems.

I am running low beams Osram D2S CBI at 5500K and fogs are Morimoto XB (type S) leds at 5000K and vleds V3 triton switchbacks white/amber at 5000K and they all much I would say at 95% in color. I am very happy with the results.
