FOG LIGHTS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
I am looking to get bulbs to match my stock xenon headlights. I want to get the daytime running lamps, and the fog lights so that they all match and look clean...
Can anyone point me in the right direction???
Thanks

I don't like the PIAA's for the daytime running lamp because when they are off you get a bluish glare in the light housing. Looks cheap in my opinion. I went with chrome-painted bulbs that are white when lit up and look oem when not. http://www.automotivelightingusa.com...roducts_id=528
For the fogs, I went with a a 5000k kit and it matches the stock xenons great. I got the fogs from James at ACG (877-422-4736). They were about $130 shipped. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Go to AZN OPTICS (he's a sponser on this board) The LED's are perfect. I installed other led's in the past and they blinked and so on, so I installed some pia bulbs untill now.
The new LED's from AZN should be standard on the car. No codes, no blinking, and the color is on the money. I went with the 5000k bulbs and I think they match the HID headlights and fog lights perfect ( I have HID's in the fogs also)
Good luck
