Namely these bulbs. PIAA’s Xtreme White Plus H-11 with a Kelvin rating of 4000K.

Any opinions on these. I was thinking of going with an amber light but we don't get a whole lot of heavy fog here so I was thinking the above might work better as a "driving" light. Especially if I aim them a tad higher then stock.

not sure off hand, but I think I run these as fogs.
I run a higher temperature rating though for fogs are basically useless with HID lights
on at the same time. I run them the same temp as my HIDs for matching purposes.
I run independent fogs when it rains or at early dusk or whatever to avoid having
to run my HIDs when I don't need them. they do well.

I have lots of PIAA bulbs in my car and they all work great, no complaints at all.

4000k will match your headlights pretty good.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Hoen Xenonmatch H11 bulbs. There's a few people in the 1G section running them and they all say that match pretty well.

I'm curious as to how these are as well. I'd like to get rid of my dingy white standard fog lamp bulbs for something brighter and closer matched to the HIDs.

I don't think anyone in Victoria would carry that name brand.

I will be picking up the Piaa's tomorrow and will post some photos of before and after.

You could always get yellow fogs. I put Nokya H11's and they look phenomenal on my CBP. Makes a huge change to the look of the car at night.

If you could, take a pic with one installed and one still stock from the front end.

I may get some amber lights at some point but for now I have an itch to do something to my car and white is the only color everyone has. Do you have any good shots of what the amber light looks like?


Good idea, I'll do that. Should have pics by this evening or sooner. I am going to attempt the resonator removal again today. Was it you who installed the Aero kit yourself? If so, the front bumper almost looks to easy to remove..

DerwoodEE

Yes I did. The bumpers are extremely easy to remove and reinstall.

I have the Aero Kit instructions for removing the bumpers in pdf if you'd like them. Just drop me an email and I'll send them to you. It's darrenp2 at hotmail.com (don't want to hotlink for spam purposes).

First photo is completely stock. Second photo has one stock and one Piaa for comparisson purposes. Can you tell me which is which? I can't say that I am impressed enough with the difference to pay $100.

DerwoodEE

Could have got them off ebay for 1/2 the cost.

I would only save $25 after shipping to Canada etc. The convenience of being able to return them if one was faulty is worth the extra $25 that I paid.

Just got the Hoen Xenonmatch H11s. I can now use my fogs without having them look like some cheap aftermarket crap. I'd say the color temp is about 95% matching the HIDs when looking head-on. Bulbs were $30 and took about 20 min to replace. No tools needed either

The Hoen bulbs are 4000K.

Those are the same ones I have... cheap and very good quality/color.

What wattage are they? 50 or 80?

Awesome! I'll get a set one of these days. Trying to buy a house, so no time for such things right now. I've never heard anything bad about them.
