Fog Light Bulbs

Anyone know where I can get fog light bulbs that match the head lights (color). I am not sure if I am going to get the HID conversion but can't stand the yellow color when they are on? So until I get the HID conversion I was just going to replace the bulbs so I like the look.

the color emitted by the fog lights is meant to be amber because that is the most effective color to see where you are going and your surroundings.

I got a pair of Eagle Lites from www.midnightmoose.com. They've been in my car since spring with no probs. Some people have had them burn out quickly. Roughly $20 for a pair. I put the 80w bulbs in, but when I have to do it again, I'll get the 55w bulbs as the actual difference is not too noticeable from what I've read here. They match the headlights very well.

I have the PIAA Extreme White in my fogs. Much whiter than stock but not quite as white as the headlights.

Which Eagle lites did you get? They say they are discontinued so all eagle lites are 50% off.

Choose your bulb model:
890
893 (replaces the 880, 884, 885, 890, and 899)
894 (replaces the 881, 886, 889, 896, and 898)
9004 (also known as HB1)
9005 (also known as HB3, replaces 9040, 9055, 9145)
9005xs
9006 (also known as HB4)
9006xs
9007 (also known as HB5)
H1
H3
H4 (also known as 9003, HB2)
H7
H8
H9
H11

They don't seem to have th Eagle lites in stock now. Yes they're the 9006s. If I had to choose, I'd go with the ones that say "Super White", but that would be a guess. From what I recall, I read someone here had them.

I have a pic at AI with the 80w bulbs (mislabeled as 85w).

The white bulbs tend to last longer.
First time I bought the golden yellow for my TL and they only lasted for 3 months.
I replaced them with the white bulbs ( got them from the same web site) and they have been running ever since. *** knock on wood ***
