the stock 4300k hid bulbs are the brightest *total lumens* you can get, maybe you want to raise them higher?

^^^ yup. the only thing i can think of is just raise the light higher. im pretty sure all 4300K bulbs will be about the same.

wat im really trying to do is match the color of my low beam and fogs i was wondering which bulb is good for this.

Are you fogs OEM or aftermarket HID?

Then get a 5000K D4S bulb for your lows if you want a match, but it won't be as bright as OEM 4300K. You have to sacrifice brightness for color. It's not that big of a loss though going to 5000K.

just giving u a heads up. its pretty hard to match the fogs and the lows since one is a projector and the other is a reflector. the color wont be perfect but it should be close

if you want your fogs to match your stock hid's you should get piaa extreme white plus halogen bulbs for your fogs. another member on this forum did it and they match the stock hid's pretty close. it isnt a perfect match, but pretty dam good.

since there's nothing you can do for the oem HID low beams, go w/ an aftermarket HID kit for your fog lights. you'll definitely see an improvement in terms of light output.

I've tried this setup, it's not very close at all IMO. I have pretty discerning taste though.

Yeah, if you have 5000K lows and fogs, and you aim your lows up a bit, you'll be pretty close to OEM 4300K output I bet.
