Default RX330 HID Matching

I have an '04 RX330 with the HID's. I want to change the high beams/DRL, fog lights, and marker lights. I currently have a set of CATZ Galaxy White in a 9005 that I can use for the high/DRL. I was wondering if anyone knew of a marker light and fog light bulb that would match the OEM HID's?

OEM HIDs are about 4100K color temp....so matching should not be a problem. Try Silverstars in the fogs.

Btw...your DRL will probably be yellowish no matter what bulb you use.

Good luck.

are u sure that HID can be installed in the high beam due to reduced voltage for the DRL? May have to turn it off first.

no you can't put hid in the high beam, the drl won't work and might damage the parts too.

but you can put higher power halogen there. it will still look yellow though on drl
