Hi guys, got a question about a light. I've decided on Hoen lights for fogs, city lights, and license plate lights. I've figured out which I want/need except the license plate ones. I've tried emailing Hoen but their email system doesn't seem to like my Host. These are the ones I know (I'm pretty sure):

Hoen H8 Endurance bulb pair 35w

Hoen City Light: W5W 3850k (white) 2 pair

Anyone know which http://www.hoen-usa.com/licenseplate.htm license plate light I need?

Thanks, Jerry

countryman-s, what parking lights did you buy? I got the Hoen xenon match fogs. I bought the Hoen W5W 3850K white and they dont match perfectly. They are still too yellow for me. The fog lights are perfect though. In your pictures it looks like the parking lights match. Thanks

I bought my parking light bulbs from "auto bulbs direct". I forgot how i found out about them. All my attempt at matching the xenons are in my gallery. The led's were too purpleish/blue, but they were very bright. The auto bulbs direct bulbs are not led and are actually blue glass, but light up ultra white. they match almost perfect. They are 501 w5w extreme white xenon match bulbs. The company is in the UK. Ive had them for over a year so i forgot the exact cost. Check out my gallery and tell me what you think.

Thanks. I think the bulbs you picked from Auto Bulbs Direct look the best. The bulbs I got from Hoen are in between stock and the bulbs you have. I got a few things on the car coded from Way but Im not gonna try that myself. And I didnt ask him to code out the bulb checks at the time. Ill look into ordering the bulbs from them. Thanks again.

The HOEN H8's worked perfect for me. They are a perfect color match to the Xenon headlamps.
