I’ve been trying to find a set of lights that will fit my fogs that will match as best as possible with the Saleen HID kit I have installed, I really don’t like how yellow the fogs look compared to the HID’s. I bought a set of Nokya Arctic white bulbs to try out and they looked even worse (they just looked really fake and blue). Does anyone have any suggestions for bulbs that would be as close as possible to the HID’s, I know its nearly impossible to completely match them up but getting them as close as possible would be great. I’ve looked at Hoen’s site however the Xeonmatch Vi’s that I really like aren’t out yet and the H11 bulbs keep coming in and out of stock. Any other suggestions would be great, I’ve looked at the PIAA’s but they are a lot of money and I don’t want to buy something again that I’m unhappy with.<o></o>

The fog light bulbs in our cars is a 9145----which is the same as a 9005 high beam bulb. The only difference is the 9005 does not have the frosted tip. I have HIDS and yellow fog light it looks great but its my car so I better think that. You could run real 9005 HID's in your fog lights for a perfect match. I have had great luck with kits fromd here http://www.xtralights.com/index.asp I am using the "xetronic" kit. It is a true plug and play no mod to your harness need so if you trade you ride in you can take them with you. I will get some pics of my lights if you like. Hope this helps.

Any word on what it will cost? I'm looking at a set of Saleen HID's right now but wonder about the cost of the parts (lights, bulbs, ballasts, wiring, etc) of the 08's..
