I just bought two pairs of Hoen Xenonmatch Titanium bulbs for my wife's MDX (standard halogen, no HIDs). They're rated at 4300K compared to the other xenonmatch bulbs they offer which are at 4000K so the Titanium bulbs should be a bit more white/blue. I'll let you guys know how they look.

Hmmm...maybe I should have tried those. But the one's I have are pretty good already. Pretty close match.

Hey did you guys order the H7s?
Also, when the fogs are changed to match the regular xenons, they're all bright white, but then there's the rings which are still stock ambery. Do you guys just leave it alone or changed that too?
