Those who use PIAA for fogs

I am looking at some PIAA fog light bulbs and they are advertised like this

Item: 1 pair - HB 9005/9006 Brand New Piaa


is this the correct size bulb for our 2 gen fog lights? I know we use a 9006 but is this HB 9005/9006 a correct fitment?

Hit me back with some responses... thanks!

You can still fit an 9005 into a 9006 socket...Just break off the tab... Plus 9005's are alot brighter than 9006 ( hence why 9005's are used in high-beams )

i did hear you could use the 9005 by breaking the tab but i went with the safe bet and used the bulb made for our fogs which are the 9006 HB4. Here is a picture of the case and the part # on the case. Those bulbs in the pics are my old stock bulbs. Hope this helps.

Hoen XenonMatch HB4 9006. I ordered some and put them on my '02 TL-P, after I saw how impressive they looked on my '04 BMW M3.

I will go with PIAA cuz i had their bulbs all around my old Prelude for 5 years and never burned out even the 1100x fog lights i put on.

I was looking at some Plasma Blue Spark or the Extreme White.

No sure which looks the best. Anyone know if the Extreme White piaa offers has any hue of yellow in it?

Thanks for all the help guys.....
Socal TL... thanks for those pics but do they sell that product anymore? what temp do those bulbs reach?

Now my ? is what is the exact temp that our stock HID's light up at. is it 4300k?

In this case I would want to stick with a bulb that is close to that like the PIAA Xtreme Whites whcih are rated at 4000k, or the Xtreme Force which are rated at 4700K(imported from Japan) these are aparently 20% blue'r than the Xtreme Whites.

Big_KOUT,

Did you live in Maryland and have a black prelude or something? I swear that I have seen that name on a prelude before on the tags or something similar.

Can you post pics of the HOEN in the fog lights. I was checking them out but would like to see what they look like before I buy them.

Thanks
