HPA HID 6k Match

I’m interested in ordering the 6k HID's from Andy at HPA. From what I've seen and read on the forum he’s a stand up guy and stands by his products. My dilemma is I want to get matching parking lights and fogs. I DONT want LED’s for the parking light or a HID kit for the fogs, I saw Andy has PIAA LED’s advertised on his site, I would prefer a 168 wedge bulb and for the Fogs I'm looking at a new H1 bulb.

I’m currently looking at the PIAA’s Xtreme White (both H1 and 168) however I don’t know what would be the closest match to these headlights. Does anyone have any suggestions and I'm aware I wont be able to get an exact match, pictures would be great? Thanks guys.

I got what you want. 6000K HID fog upgrade to go with the 6000K headlight bulb. Brand new in the box.

Lemme know.

Edit: Doh, nevermind, I reread your post and says you "do not" want HID. Sorry. GL with the others.

Let me know what you find!! I'm looking for matching headlight, parking light, and fog light bulbs as well. And, like you, I don't want to upgrade anything. I just want replacement bulbs that all have matching kelvin temperatures; somewhere in the 5000-6000 range. So far all the city bulbs I'v found are way too blue, and all the 6000K fogs I have found are HID upgrades. Do simple 6000K replacement bulbs exist for the fog light and city light?!?

I dont think we'll find a 6k bulb for the fogs unless we go with the HID kit.

I was looking at the PIAA site, they have the 168 wedge bulbs (extreme white) & and H1 fog light bulbs (extreme white). Pictures anyone and thoughts how it might look with 6k headlights?

They look cool, but I dont really want to put any LED's in the headlight housing.

Bump. Did you ever find something that works?

I have HPA 6000k headlights and I had the autolumination LEDs with the heat sinks in my parking lights and one started to flicker a few months ago.

I figured if the LED with the heat sink sheild which is designed to reduce heat burns out in under a year, Im not going to go that route again.

Check my comments on the PIAA 168 bulbs here.

https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...ty-lights.html

In that post is another link to what I bought (haven't installed) for the fogs. I believe 4300K is the stock temp for our HID headlights.
