I suggest that you upgrade your fogs to HID to get a perfect match. I've been through several LED bulbs and am unable to get a perfect match. There are close matches but not perfect.

I tried the VLED 5k XB high power leds, and I was very impressed with the brightness but the light had a slight purple tint to it and did not match my low beams. If you do plan on changing your low beams to 5000k bulbs then I do recommend these bulbs. Right now I have the VLED 28 led SMT bulbs and they are a closer match to my 4300k bulbs. I do notice that when my low beams first come on they do have a slight purple tint to them just like the 5k XB bulbs, but after a few seconds the purple tint goes away and there just white which makes the 5k SMT bulb a closer match.

I have those now and have used them for years on a few Lexus models.Close match to the 4300 stock HIDs that looks great to me.
I paid $59.99 and now because there is a few other choices,they're $29.99.
The best LED 5K fog bulb VLEDs sells is only 1200 lumens combined and $99.95.
Stock bulbs are 1400.So it's more for aestetics with LEDs and the 28 LED bulb work well.

Thanks all

I tried the VLED 5k but I didn't like the slight purple on it.

I'm thinking of upgrade the fog to HID 4300.. but I'm afraid it will be very bright.. Any suggestion?

The 28 VLEDs LEDs are white with no purple or blue at all..
If you want better light output and 4300K,you have to go HID fogs.Overkill,IMO.
I never felt the need for better light output with the HID headlights on and still don't know why some people do.

I think garax only makes 6k bulbs. But those match veds 5k led pretty well.

Xenon Depot is affiliated with KB Carstuff and they do assuming it's a Garax that they did sell earlier..
There's also a CL $20 off discount code but I don't know what it is.

Maybe not but I'd still give it a shot to get a 5K output HID over a 6K.


Actually,I'd opt for these.

The purpose of changing the fog lights is not the output, It's the look. The yellow fog make the GS cheap.

Im thinking of projectors with 4300k HID for fogs, what is the peter way to do it?
