Turn Signal Lights & Fog Lights

How do you make the fog lights match the headlights (by changing just the bulb?) in the most inexpensive way?

Does Tim have Bright white bulbs as well for the turn signal lights for the back of the car? I can't imagine those being too expensive? If yes, which ones are they?

Thanks guys!

well, the piaa plasma white is probably the best fog light matching the hid, but it's out of spec and tim is not selling them. he is selling the piaa platinum white, which is the one i am using. it's within spec, and it's much much whiter than the stock. but compared to the hid it's still somewhat yellow.

i have no idea on the back turning light though, don't wanna do something "that" illegal.

I think 'out of spec' means that it's out of the legal standard...
I'm considering getting those piaa plasma too...

nonono, i was talking about the wattage, not the size. both the plasma and the platinum are 9006 bulbs, so physically they are exactly the same and will fit in our fog light base. but the platinum is 51W and the plasma is much higher (61W??). if you read our manual you will see that our fogs are only designed for a max of 51W, so the platinum is just within spec. i think that's the primary reason why tim is not selling the plasma. i bet he doesn't wanna get flamed for burned fogs. that's just my wild guess though. tim, maybe you can say something?

well there are plenty of TL-P and TL-S drivers out there with the plasma and they claim it's still ok so far (after months). but personally i wouldn't take the risk

I mean how big is the difference compared to the HID headlight? Are the Platinum whites that far off from the HID?

i would say the platinume super white is white enough for you to consider it as white rather than yellow, but compared to the hid it's still quite a bit of distance.
