If you want an EXACT match to the hid headlights, you want to a get 4300k hid fog light kit, H8. if you want a very very close match without converting to hids, get Nokya 7000k Hyper white bulbs, H8. I have them for my fogs and you can see in my avatar when i still had 4300k headlights they match pretty perfectly. As far as the door lights, i would say LEDs from superbrightleds.com or v-leds.com. but i dont have those so im not totally sure about sizes or anything. im sure someone else can clarify that for you
oh and installation of the fogs is pretty easy. just pull back the plastic in the wheel wells and reach forward to the fog housings. exact directions are in your owners manual

^^^ Perfectly said. I've the the Nokya 7000's (H8) and they're great. I was looking for the same thing MFR, with fogs and door lights too. The door light cover just pops off and exchanging the bulbs takes about 2 minutes. There is another thread that outlines the bulb sizes.

Do NOT buy the Nokya 7000k Hyper white bulbs, H8. 2008 Acura Tl's have 35 W bulbs and when i installed the Nokya bulbs, they blew two of my fuses. I had to go thru a hassle to return the bulbs. Make sure that it is 35W bulbs that you are buying. : )

The bulb size for the door lights is 168/194. Here's a link to all the bulbs in the 08 TL:

I don't mean to hijack or anything, but I didn't really want to start any more new fog light threads since mine is kind of about the same thing.
Do you guys think I should get yellow hid fogs or should I try to match them with my headlights? It seems that matching to my headlights is kind of pain and rather expensive, I don't see myself changing up the headlights in the near future.
I got quoted at two places for 150 to get yellow hid fogs.
thanks!

I went with Nokya 2500K bulbs for teh fogs and I like the look, I have a PMM which is essentially AM, just slightly different color for 2008. The think with 2500K or 3000K HID kits is for whatever reason, the light it puts out is that color, but if you look at the bulbs while they're on, they glow a faint yellow, so if it's for the yellow light output, then HIS is good, but if it's for the yellow light look, regular bulbs are better.

matching should be the same price. for HIDs you need ballasts no matter what, so its just a matter of picking the bulb you want. yellow ones, or match would be 4300k if you have stock headlights

I have a nbp, and the matching would be a little off because my stock osrams have already colorshifted. I've done a lot of night driving.
I thought about matching them, but if I reallllly wanted them to match right I'd have to get a set of new d2s' for my headlights and buy from the same company for the fogs.
Since I don't really want to shell out all that right now, ( 3 plane tickets and shipping my car to chicago in a month =/ ) I'm thinking maybe I'll just get a set of yellow HIDs.
So if I do end up getting the yellow hids for fogs, would they mess with my low beams? I've tried finding some pictures of this to no avail.
thanks guys!
