Help with 2010 Fog Lights, LED replacement?

Hey Guys,

I am intersted in changing my Fog Light bulbs on my 2010 G37xS Sedan. Is it possible to get LED bulbs to replace them instead of a HID kit? If so would someone point me into the right direction as to what to buy exactly?

Thanks,

Joe

Thanks for the input guys!

Was wondering if anyone has a specific vendor that gives a good deal and is a good product with warranty.

Also, is 4300k the best possible match to the OEM HID's in the headlights? I would want to match them as much as possible.

Thanks!

Joe

I picked up my last kit for my other car at The Xenon Store as they have a lifetime warranty and are fairly inexpensive.

I ended up getting 5000K for the fog lights which matched the Mazda OEM HIDs pretty well, however I noticed that my G37's HID's are a little more blue then the Mazda so a 6000K may be a little better.

What I have found is that the lens of our projector tend to turn the light a little more blue, and when in reflectors like fogs 4300K can appear very yellow.

fogs are easy to install, now since they sit on the lower bumper part. I was able to reach in and feel them when I was installing my lip

What's the difference between LEDs and PIAAs? I guess the HIDs and LEDs are brighter than PIAAs? The PIAAs seem to be plug n' play but more expensive.
