To match the HID headlights? I used 194/168 LED bulbs for a while and they matched pretty good but they blew out. Now I'm using Polargs and they look horrible. I kind of gave up on them.

When you say “Xenon” bulbs, do you mean superwhites or HID’s?

If you mean HID’s in the headlights, then the foglights will never match with superwhites. Either get an HID kit for the fogs, leave them off, or deal with the yellowish superwhites.

If you mean superwhites in the headlights, then you need to put superwhites in the foglights also. I would try to stick with the same name brand and wattage for both bulbs to get an exact match. The foglight bulbs are H3C. You can get PIAA H3C bulbs from www.hitechimportlighting.com or you can convert them to H3 and then it’ll be easy to find bulbs. Like I said, use the same name brand and wattage bulbs and they should match pretty closely.

I used orange bulbs in the corners of all my cars with HID or those superwhite headlights looks better IMO.
