The 2002 and 2003 uses a 9006 bulb. What kind of bulb are you looking for? Stock, SUperwhite, HID?

replacements bulbs for the fogs will cost you about 80-130 bucks.
unless you watch for fellow tl owner and steal his.

if you get good aftermarket superwhite bulbs it would run you around 100 bucks, i would go to piaa plasma white or extreme white.

if you want to get hid conversion kit, i got my 6000k philips setup for 460 shipped, and for 4100k it should be around 400 bucks.

and in any case you need 9006 type bulbs

9006 Sylvania Silverstars...$24.99 each at pep boys or autozone, they're a perfect match

imho, i don't trust piaa's. they tend to burn out real quick from past experiences.

I want to chage my fog lights to HID but I want it to be the same color as my OEM Headlights so they match. Anyone have any ideas?

Go with the 4100k conv kit. Like rominl said it would be about 400 bucks. If you decide to temperaraly use superwhites, do not waste 100 bucks on piaa's get the ones from pep boys. I had piaa's I took out of my CL headlights and they did not match the headlights at all. Not too mention they blew out after less then a year. I have a cheap set I got in chinatown for 20 bucks made by Max Motorsports. Here is what the cheapies look like.

i jus bought a cheap pair and its actually more "bluer" than the headlights. the headlights are jus white to me, and the fogs have this "sky blue" look. they dun really match in color, but i like the results.

yeah, get the 4100k kit. though imho if you just want to match the stock hid you can do it with some aftermarket halogen already. i think you should only upgrade the fogs to hid if you have 6000k hid headlight, coz' no halogen will be able to match that

When you guys have your HID fogs, your bulbs just stick out (like stock)? There is no prism in front of the bulbs to direct light is there?
