I have a 2001 cl-s I am trying to replace the lights bulb.. I bought a piaa 19172 which is kind of yellow even though it is suppose to be white. I am trying to get the fog lights to match with my head lights any recommendation on what should i do. I am trying to get it white....

 

i bought the exact same bulbs, yes it looks yellow and first. after a while it became white. give it some time and see what happens.

 

PIAA 19224, closest thing I've seen to the headlights. You can kind of tell from my avatar.

 

Here's a better pic

 

Piaa 19224 > *

 

i just ordered the piaa 19224's, everyone says its the closest thing to matching the headlights. They are 18w compared to the stock bulb of 5w

 

I heard that the Polarg (sp?) bulb might match even closer, but they usually burn out pretty quick

 

I first used the Polarg M6 bulbs. They kept burning out after a year, so I switched to PIAA 19224. The PIAA's seem to last longer.

Both bulbs are 18W super-whites. During my bulb switch over, I had Polarg in one side and PIAA in the other and couldn't tell the difference. They both match the HID's pretty well.

 

im using the piaa super LED 19263 and it sucks just looks like a little brite dot of light in my fog light it dose not shine off the crome part im thinking about converting the socket so i can use the same bulb thats in the turn signal and putting the TL fog light switch so i can turn them off and on

 

I had the PIAA 19224's in mine for a while. The blue coating on the bulb came off and looked like crap. I went back to the yellow look after that happened. Personally I didn't like the Hyper White look all that much.

 

interesting,

I have the 19224's, have to see how I like them, once it's all hooked up.

 

How long did it take for the coating to come off??

 

You'll probably answer me with "of course you dumb ass", but I gotta ask. Did you happen to touch the bulb when you installed them?

I know skin oil will cause the bulb to burn hotter and shorten the lifespan. I wonder if it might cause the coating to come off?

After about 2 years, mine still look fine.
