Replacing fog lights with JDM Halogen Xenon Super White

I want to replace the bulbs in my fog lights without having to use HID conversion kits. Anyone know if these are any good?

Super White H4 H11 9005 9006 Xenon Headlight Fog Lights Bulbs

I tried a search and I was unsuccessful in finding any information. I did notice that a few people recommended the Xenon White SMD LEDs. I'm kinda iffy on that as I'm not too sure about the reliability/durability of LEDs. Any input/help is greatly appreciated!

The lights that you're looking at are not bad, they're a basic and generic halogen bulb replacement. It produces the same amount of watts as your stock bulb, the only difference is the outer glass lens color which is blue, which turns the regular yellow light into a cooler whiter light.

The rating is about 4500K so it will still be slightly yellow, but on the cooler color side rather than warmer.

We also carry LEDs as well which are rated at 6000K so they are mostly white with a hint of blue. LEDs are far more reliable than traditional halogen bulbs and produce a cleaner, more refined color as well. Take a look at what we have available:

Super Bright Automotive LED Light Bulbs for Car Map Dome Lights, License Plate Lights, Corner Lights and LED Daytime Running Lights by iJDMTOY

If you have any questions about our lights, feel free to PM me.

I disagree with the reliability of LEDs. Had too many go out.

PIAA makes a 4100K Halogen bulb that matches the factory light very well.
Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
DOT legal. Picture of exact ones below:
Amazon.com: PIAA 15211 H11 Style Xtreme White 55=110-Watt Bulb - Twin Pack: Automotive



Anything ove 5000K will lose luminance, so less down the road.

I went ahead and ordered the PIAA xtreme white bulbs. I was taking to a friend who bought a g37 coupe and he had ordered the ijdmtoy bulbs I considered. He is planing to return them as the wattage on the package says 120w which seems like would definitely damage the fog light housing/wiring.
