HOEN Fogs = WEAK
 
Hey guys,
Thanks for all of your help, I had trouble installing the bulbs.
After the install, Im not really happy with the lighting. Honestly I can't really
tell the difference. Only when I had the stock fog and Hoen on at the same time. I thought it would be more of a blue color. I think I might just sell them, anyone interested?

Sounds like something could be wrong. There is a clear difference in the Xenonmatch bulbs and the OEM's. You might try posting in the For Sale forum if you want to get rid of them. Good luck.

I just installed a pair of PIAA plasma ion yellow h3's. I am very impressed with the color, looks great against the purple xenon. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

That's surprising. Can you show us some pics?

Must go with HID fog kit if you want a true match with your HID lowbeam.

Concur.

They're certainly not as bright as the true HID fogs with ballasts, and they don't look "blue"; however, they're noticeably different from, and a big improvement over, the OEM fogs. The Hoen Xenonmatch "match" the color of the OEM HID low beams quite nicely, imo.

H3's? I thought the bulbs were H11's?

Check out Xenonfactory, they have HID kit for all sorts of application. You would need the 4300K to match stock xenon headlights.

Yeah no more breytons but still same old breytonX5. HREX5 doesn't sound so good. :)
