Fog Light replacement bulb

Hey Guys,

I am looking to replace my fog light bulbs to a bright bulb, any suggestions?

Keep in mind, I have LED switchback turn signals and HID headlights (4300K - pure white). I am also considering getting CCFL halo replacement lights for my fogs. So whatever bulb I get, I want it to be close to the white color of the CCFL ring and my LED turn-signals.

As a heads up, I don't want to buy another conversion kit for the fog lamps. Just looking for the best and brightest bulb I can find.

If you have a suggestion, please include a link to where I can purchase them.

If you dont want to do something like that you will have to go with a LED replacement bulb. It will match your switchbacks and your CCFL halo if you go that route. We have the H10 LED bulbs that you can put in there. Just a warning though if you do decided to pick up the LED's Its going to be for show and that's it, you will get very little performance out of it.

Before someone suggests Silverstars, let me show you how they compare against 4300K HIDs (headlights are HID, fogs are Silverstar):





If you want to go the cheapest route, you could get a set of these:

AGREED. HID is the way, but if led is your cup of tea we have it. We can get it for you.

Do you happen to have any images with these bulbs installed?

no, I bought a set of HIDs for the fog lights, which match the headlights.

Did you have to install a conversion kit to use those bulbs? I thought HIDs couldn't work with just the standard stock housing.

I think we have a slight misunderstanding here. Where I got that link to the ebay auction from: I did a quick search on ebay to find halogen bulbs that have that blue coating on them to make them look more white. Because that's the cheapest way.

The way I did installed HID foglights was I bought a kit like this one from HIDGuy:
