Keep in mind these are 3X as much as the HOEN's. Also, Dave from AIB suggests HOEN's over PIAA. Here's a picture of mine. They look identical to the PIAA's, if not a little more white and less blue and only cost $29.95 (I think PIAA is around $80-$90).

yea i noticed it... but if i get the hid kit, it will be more bluish then i have to change the low beams to higher temp and i dont want to spent that much on lights. btw, wats the diff between xenonmatch and xenonmatch plus and do u have to order throught the option
All-weather (fog lamp only) or Xenonmatch Factory Wattage. In pics, my piaas look great but in real life, but when u get up close in real life to the fogs, they are yellowish

xenonmatch plus is a higher kelvin. therefore, it will give off a more bluish hue, according to HOEN themselves.

I just ordered them, this is the third set of fog bulbs for me. The first ones were cheap in price and quality. The second ones are PIAA 4150's they were pretty nice, but I am getting the HOENS because from what people are saying they are not as blue as the PIAA's....I will let you guys know how the two compare.
