Default Changing fog light bulbs

I'd like to change the fog light bubs on my '07 GS350 to the same luminosity (brightness) as the HID headlights. Can someone recommend the correct bulbs/wattage and/or manufacturer? I don't want to change the housing, install a kit, etc. Just looking to replace the fog light bulbs so they have the same "white" light as the Xenons.

Thanks.

You need a HID conversion kit (size 9006). If you are looking to match your OEM headlights/low beam you need 4300k. Can't recommend a brand since I haven't decided to make this jump yet, but search the forums there is PLENTY on this topic. Many people recommend Putco.

correct, if you want to match the brightness, you'll need an hid kit. halogen bulbs will not give you the brightness you are looking for.

look to forum sponsor Steve from kbcarstuff/xenondepot. I have 2 different sets of his conversion kits and he provides top notch quality, service and stands behind his products 1000%. You get an extra $25 or so off by mentioning CL. There are a few DIY writes around here about converting the fogs to HID.

Good luck
