Hi,
I sell HID kits for the fog lights. I am highly against the Piaa bulbs that run over wattage that can melt the factory socket. I have seen it happened MANY times. I recommend the 6000K HID fog lights. The are currently $160 shipped.

Having seen LOTS of local members' cars with John's (brabusw209amg) HID fogs, I must say, it is an absolutely GREAT deal. I'm sure some of these members will chime in as time goes by to let you know how much they like it too. My point being: if you're gonna spend whatever PIAA's cost, you might as well get the real deal from John (especially, considering his prices).

we also sell fog lights, from many brands, including gp thunder and mtec and "error free" + HID kits, we are fully stocked at the moment with a lot of choices to pick from, but PIAA's are kind of pricey, but we also have it in stock.
also stock is rated at 4300k. all mtec super white halogen bulbs are rated at 4350k=exact match to factory

+1 6000K fogs are the closest you can get. OEM headlight Xenons are 4300K, but 4300K fogs are hard to get your hands on. 6000K is a close match.

+2 on both counts. I got the 6000K from Brabus for the same reason.
