Correct me if I am wrong but I think thoiboi means 6300k as I have 6000k xenon white and they are ever so slightly whiter than my headlights.

My goal was also to match my headlights as closely as possible. I bought these ones in the link below for my fog lights and I think they are as close as I could hope for. I plan on buying the same JDM ASTAR brand for my drls in the future.

The ones in the link for the fogs are straight plug and play. You don't need to do anything.

If you have a 12-14 TL, get some LED foglights

That's weird that they are rated at 4300k.... the headlights look a lot closer to 6300 to me.
