Ok here is the response,, seems the xtreme bulbs are not available anymore
... here is the message he sent
Hello, Juan. Thank you for your question. I don't have Xtreme Force
HB(4700K) and Xtreme White HB(4150K). But I have newer PIAA bulb in HB.
PIAA Super White & White HB(4300K) and Platinum Super White HB(4100K). If
you are trying to match the color of HID headlight, both of these will be
perfect. Xtreme Force(4700k) is too blue and will not match your headlight.
The price of Super White & White HB(4300K) or Platinum Super White
HB(4100K) is us$54.99(two bulbs) and shipping to US is us$4.99 via regular
air mail (5 to 7 days) or us$11.99 via intenational express mail with
tracking number and insurance (2 to 4 days).
So has nay used the SuperWhites?

Lots of good posts out there on this subject?thought I would share my technique with you. In the end it took me about 5 mins per side.
Using an 8mm socket remove these 4 screws
Attachment 4381
Here's another shot of 2 of the 4 screws
Attachment 4382
Using a Phillips loosen/remove these two fasteners (belly pan)
Attachment 4380
Slightly pull the wheel liner out
Attachment 4383
Another shot of the wheel liner pulled out
Attachment 4384
Pull the lower corner liner down and you?ll have easy access to the bulb?that?s it!
Attachment 4385
Here are the lights I used (about $65 on eBay /oem on left for comparison)
Attachment 4379
Here are a couple daytime pics of the results...

Do you know anywhere I can buy the Piaa 4700k hb bulbs? I tried Ebay but no luck, any stores online offer them?

sorry that i didn't see a much difference in the before and after pictures after the foglight is installed, but it sure is an awesome help for those who want to change foglights DIY, just curious... how come you didn't consider HID forlights?
