Front fogs, looking for clean white replacement
 
Ever since I bought and installed my fogs I've been annoyed by the contrast diff between them and my switchbacks and HIDs. Now can't do much about the HID straight on they're white, to side bit "blueish"

But... Can anyone direct me to a clean white replacement for these Subaru fogs?

You'll see from these pics, fogs very yellow ish'

Change the H11 fog lamps for some LEDs; they won't really be "functioning" fogs, they would be really just for appearance and show. I use 120 SMD with a 6000K color. You can find them on eBay or amazon. Good luck!

Ok no modifications needed to handle the LEDs? I think I found a 4 plasma 6K LED set...

I found and bought some Stg 2s from Diode Dynamics. See how those fair, step one rod of the yellow lol. Thanks fellas. :)

PIAA released some new bulbs (Stratos Blue) back in April - should give you up to 6k color equivalent. If you're running the H11 bulb, you'll want the HZ210 model#. More info here:

I have fogs with 6k bulbs from HID Powerhouse, and recommend them highly.

Dang, you have all sorts of colors going on. I would get your headlight to match your switchbacks for starters, then figure out the fogs. Different housings will throw different color. For both my M3 and cobra I had to get two different temperatures for the headlights and fogs to get them to match correctly. I ran HID's on all my lights for both. I was pretty excited that this car didn't come with factory fogs.

I just leave my fogs turned off.

OICU812 07-17-2013 06:33 PM

It's not often honestly that I ever have them on and they don't throw alot useable light anyhow. I've allready ordered the diode dynamic lights see how those go and match I'm hoping well to switchbacks. I agree I need to look into diff HIDs these one however when driving are super clean white, exterior wise they do present a weird blue however.

These are interesting but they're a "blue" tube correct that would give that bluish tinge? If so I'm trying to get away from that lol.

yeah, i would suspect since the tube is blue, you'd get some reflection in the housing...but i was aiming for how it'd look when it's 'on', to match up with your switchbacks, and keeping with halogen. Anyhow, seems like best bet is just do as others have suggested and look into a HID solution, then you can have 'clear' bulb with ~6k color. =)
