Fog light bulb replacement

Hey,

Since AZN's led are so popular here (i got them as well )... what's the best fog light bulbs that matches the most with the 5000k ones?

Need some help deciding which ones to use, others suggestions welcomed as well...

Philips Crystal Vision
Philips Crystal Vision Ultra
Philips Diamond Vision

Thanks,
Ray

i tried the crystalvision ultra, not too impressed, just mildly whiter than stock, id skip those and go for the diamond vision. U will never achieve a true white with halogen bulbs though, imo.

4500k HIDs would be the way to go

Philips Diamond Vision 5000K has the closest match to AZN Optiks 5000k LEDs

NOTE: The 5000K eyelids are still giving off a bluish hue upon start up but it will turn to solid white after it warms up a bit

It's hard to find a US distributor so I went ahead and order it from an overseas distributor in China... www.ipmart.com, They take a picture of the product before they ship it out and I received it within 7-10 business days.

Trying to stay away from HIDs as i dont really want to lose the side illuminating feature (not sure the exact name ) and i dont keep my fogs on all the time anyways, the only time i actually see it is when i unlock the car at night.

if you have p2 then you have the corner illuminating fogs i think.

also, i have tried Sylvania silverstar ultra, PIAA, and nokya arctic on my other car...none close to white at all
