Default HID Foglight Bulb

Does anyone know the right size and model of getting a fog lamp bulb to match the HID's? I saw one a RX and it looks really sweet. Also, the link that somebody had posted to an aftermarket site in Japan had the HID bulbs but no reference to them.

yes i would like to know this as well. would prefer a matching bulb rather than get a HID kit for the fog lamps.
any suggestions/links to the right bulb would be good.

im thinking of putting blue film on the fog lights to simulate the look of HID, without actually having to change anything

There is form and then there is function.

I can only tell you about fuction, but being the owner you can choose what suits you.

Function:
Fog lights: To produce penetrating (in fog) visual wavelength of light with a broad spread but angled low (to reduce reflection by fog). This lead to the use of orange/yellow light. [Incandicent golden/yellow light will perfomr better than the one with blue [natural light .. hid] shift.

Fog lights would be possible with HID kits, but a bit tough. I think it'll look better with 30000K HID fog lights. You can pretty much buy HID kits anywhere, http://xenondepot.com/ is the more popular ones with authentic kits.
