Yes I saw them too, but in my opinion the 4150s should be a better match with the xenons. It all depends what look you want. I should have my bulbs tommorow, I will insall and take day and nightime pics.

just curiosity, how come no one prefer the real HID foglight instead of the Piaa 4150, 4700 or 6000K?
is it because of the price, or just the color is not matching?

I've been thinking of converting my fogs to real HIDs but you'll get a burnt bulb warning whenever you turn on the engine UNLESS you turn on the foglights first befor starting your car.

Member soc_fans has real fog HIDs and that's what he's doing.
