I was looking into getting Whiter bulbs for another car and came across this site. I know people have been having problmes locating or buying PIAA bulbs. Some dont trust e-bay. So heres a good site for Fog replacement bulbs to make them match the Stock Xenons.

I waited 3 weeks for my PIAA fog lights too from an Ebay seller. Fortunately, I was given a refund. I ended up buying locally in SD for $75. What is up with Ebay sellers? Bambi, LA's E60, and myself all having problems recently.

I bought it from a guy here in the US in the west coast. I thought he had it in stock, but I suspected after 1.5 weeks that he had a supplier in Japan who he places orders with. I seriously doubt that he ever has the PIAA fog lights in stock.

Well i got the bulbs and installed them in my IS already and I have to say. They came FAST!
I ordered them Saturday night and I got them Tues afternoon. Bulbs work and all... decent shipping price. $5. MUCH better looking than the freaken stock yellow bulbs.
I got the Mtec 4350K bulbs just in case anyone was curious... BUT I think the PIAA 4700K are brighter than the Mtec...
No I'm not saying color... not refering to whiter or what not. I'm saying actual illumination... Brightness how much it lights up the road. I think PIAAs are better.
