Parking and Fog light bulbs to match Xenon?

Anyone have suggestions on bulb replacements for the fogs and the parking lights to match the 4300K xenon lights? I think it would look sweet to have all the lights matching when they're on!

www.coopersport.ca sells a lighting bundle to replace all the exterior bulbs so they match.

Tell 'em Jamie sent you

It's really hard to have them match perfectly. But you can get pretty close, all the links above seem like they would work. Or you could simply buy an HID conversion kit in the 4000k-5000k color temp for your fogs...

just go with some 192 white bulbs, or go LED if you really really need to match 100% with the xenons...

halogen wise, you can get anythin that's 'superwhite', if you have to be perfectionist about it.. get silvania silverstars, same as the fogs and you'd have that look

That's actually a cool kit, but it's the internals, isn't it? has anyone ever done that MOD?

I put blue LEDs in my footwell and map lights and plan on changing everything else to LEDs (superwhite).... IMO the best way to go for that HID Superwhite look is with LEDs.

I bought the kit for internal Xenon bulbs but thought they looked lame inside the car. Some bling aint bling at all.

Where do you get those LEDs? I am looking for my fog lamps replacement. For the turn indicators, I bought a set from NewMINIStuff. Haven't installed yet, will place pics.

I don't believe they sell LEDs for those style bulbs (H11, H7, 9006, etc.) However you can get LEDs for your turn indicators, parking lights, reverse lights, interior lights.
