Then turn the fogs off. I have never felt the need of them. I want to see far away ahead, not the area right beneath my nose. But when it gets really foggy, see something up close is better than seeing nothing.

I'm not sure why it matters Lol but he owns a few Ferraries and a collection of other nice rides but when he was in front of me he was in his BMW M-5... And trust me.. I'm not even trying to compete With a Infiniti... What's the point....?

They are 3000K in color

I think your missing my point... I think the oem headlights provides enough light. I want my fog lights to match for appearance... Again I live in CA and never hit fog. So yes as of now I do keep my fog lights off until I install different ones that will match.

Okay help me out... I don't want to replace my lights with hid's I just want the bulbs for my fog lights. I want them to blend in with my oem headlights. what bulbs should I buy from you that will not over power my oem headlights. I don't need them to help me see at night. I think the oem headlights are fine and do a great job. Oh I don't want yellow tint.
Also do you have any pictues?

So why use the fogs at all, though?

Go to my profile and check out the picture I have in my album. A pair of LED bulbs that I put on my fog lamps. I bought that at ijdmtoy.com for like $30. Just plug and play, easy install.

DUDE!!! That's exactly what I'm looking for... Can you post the same ones that you ordered. (Name brand and color) I know you have a coupe vs my sedan but still.. I want the name of the led bulb. Just curious, can you see any better when you put them in vs the oem ones? I really don't care about giving more light i'm all about appearance and your seem to match up really good.

Speaking of fog lights, why can't the fog lights be switched on without turning the headlights on? In truly foggy conditions, the headlights are going to reflect off the fog and blind you.

I agree... I'd love to be able to drive with just the fog lights on... I'm sure you;d be able to do it.

They're X-Bright High Power LED Bulbs. 6k xenon white. I also wanted them for appearance and IMO they look great! In the picture they look a little more bright than they really are though but they help out a little bit. Let's just say, these are 100% better than the OEM ones!
