Looking for HID foglights
I am looking for the foglight bulbs that shine the white or blue light. I don't know if they are HID but I bought the SilverStar bulbs but that is not what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me in a vendors direction...Any Help???

great info so far.... I'm really just looking for a bulb that will shine white not with the yellowish tint like the stock ones. The silverstars are not much different unless I got the wrong ones...I already have the HID headlights and am just looking to match the fogs....

Stop wasting money on the filament bulbs. Once HID bulbs are in and aimred properly (so you don't blind anyone), you will never go back again. Prepare to meet the future in night lighting the way it should be.

A True HID bulb kit will give you what you want. The 880/881 kits plug in just like the OEM bulbs. IMO 6000k is the color you want. Colors are somthing like this:
3000K: golden yellow
4300K: Warm white (most lumens output)
5000K: Pure White
6000K: Cool White (hint of blue) this is what i run
8000K: Ice White (lots of blue)
3000K: golden yellow
4300K: Warm white (most lumens output)
5000K: Pure White
6000K: Cool White (hint of blue) this is what i run
8000K: Ice White (lots of blue)

I have Hella HID fogs --- If you're looking to just do a bulb change, you'll see "some" improvement --- but nothing beats true HIDS ---

True HID's (headlights) operate at 35W vs. 55W for OEM bulbs.
