foglight color matching
I've got a 2013 is350. debating on either trying to match them to the led strip drl's of going with a deep yellow/amber. Also debating on just getting led bulbs or converting to hids. any thoughts or anyone know of an led bulb that matches the drl's?

Paid under 60 bucks shipped from one of the vendors on here, installed the 4300k fogs, to match my 4300k (close to stock HID/LEDs) Lows. Looks great! Much better option and a tine more usable light!

I spent weeks and a bunch of money trying to match my fogs with the HIDs. I finally installed these...
They don't give off as much light as halogen or HIDs but I don't require the extra light anyway.
I bought, PIAA 19616 HB4-9006 Xtreme White, Sylvania 9006 CB Cool Blue and Philips 9006 CrystalVision Ultra and although they are all great bulbs and very bright, they just didn't seem to match they HIDs, they still seemed too yellow!
This is what they look like...

- Night
I hope this helps

this is the look im going for did you need a decoder for the fogs or does that only apply to the DRLs?

I'd personal go with Halogen, I've got "3k HIDs" in my fogs and they look GREEN not amber yellow.
I guess it just depends on which vendor you go with but i've seen "3k" kits that look yellow, some amber, and like mine, green.
I've also seen numerous yellow halogen bulbs that give out that deep amber look your looking for.
