Default PIC request! SC foglight bulbs that flow well w/ 8K hid's

hello. well im currently running a 8000 k hid kit on my 1997 sc400. the light output is bluish. my foglights are a whitish/yellow(stock) when on and imo doesnt look good when my hid's are on. i want to change out the bulb but want to see what will look good with the 8000 k hid kit.

ive seen some update the fogs to hid's, but i just want to change out the bulb(cheaper). i also dont like it when u change out the bulb to the bluish ones and u can see the blue reflecton from the bulb thru the foglight...

anyone have pics of their updated foglight bulbs on with their 8k hid kit??? day shots(without the light on to see if there is a bluish reflection) as well as night shots would be nice! thanks alot guys =)

I don't think there is a way to match 8k, other than getting a kit for your fogs as well...I run 6k top and bottom....I had blue bulbs in my highbeams that looked blue, but light output was white...

Are the bottom ones HID? If so what type of HID do i search for?

I bought a pair of H3 Piaa's and they are not bright at all.

I think I want that look.

You should run 6000K (white) for low beam and 3000K (yellow....like the IS300 fogs) for fogs. 3000K HID fogs would work well with 8000K HID lows too. If you want bulbs though, there are some PIAA bulbs that would work out really well.
PIAA H3 Ion Crystal:

They look like this on a car:

8000k HID i think is more a VIP look which goes well with the same color fogs, if you had a more oem color like 4000k(whitish) i think it goes good with yellow fogs, like an oem look. but i think for bluish HID low beams, id go with the same bluish colored fogs.
