Default Best Brand for Replacement Bulbs

Hey guys, I want to change out my Fogs to yellow bulbs and my high beams to match my 8000K low beams. What brand would you guys recommend to buy? Thanks

I have the following exact setup for the reasons posted by Supraman. I don't have pics of it yet though as I just installed it the other day.

2. Fog Lights: Hoen Endurance Yellow H11 Bulbs ( http://www.hoen-usa.com/endurance.htm ): I did a lot of research and ultimately went with these because of from what I read of these bulbs they are pretty reliable and look the best. Most people have said that the Luminics JDM Yellow bulbs tend to fade, the MTEC Yellow bulbs were not very yellow. Also both of these run risk of ruining your stock harness and some have had they fail after a couple of months. The PIAA's are pretty nice but very pricey. The Hoen's look much nicer in person...I couldn't really capture how nice they looked on camera. Plus they provide much more improved visability compared to the stock bulbs. I doubt that the bluish tint "HID like" bulbs would have improved visibility. The are very highly regarded in most of the forums that I read. I definately recommend the the Hoen bulbs.

I don't know what non-HID high beam bulbs will match the blueness of an 8000k low beam.

try v-leds.com they are pretty easy to look for on there, and they have pretty good customer service, but returns aren't so good...my 2 cents
