Default Foglight bulbs

Without buying HIDS to replace the foglights what bulb matches the stock Hids? I was looking at these 2 but not sure if they are any good or what?

Anyone have recommendations? Thanks

both brands are good on our isx50.
I have both of them.
I personally like the MTEC one better b/c it matches our low beam better. (mtec is 4350k and our low beam is 4300, close enough)
I first bought luminics but it was too bright (5150k) compare to our stock low beam.
hope this helps.

MTEC of course. Looked at the pics and I wanted closer to stock look than brighter. Thanks for the recommendation. Now I keep massaging my hands ready for the install.

Can upgrading to a hotter bulb like that mtec cause damage to the lens or housing?
