Default Brighter Matching Headlight & Foglight Bulbs?

I'm looking to get my factory fogs a bit brighter and also get them to match my headlights perfectly. I saw a Silver JK here in So Cal the other night that had exactly this but was on the freeway and no way to track him down.

I currently have the Hella Vision Plus Lamps with H4 bulbs. Any ideas?

It looks lime Delta offers upgraded fogs and headlights that I would think would match.

I'm planning on installing HIDs in my headlamps and fog lights tomorrow, both 4500k. Everything was $100 from DDM tuning here in San Diego. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Good luck with not blinding people to death HIDs in stock reflectors are a bad idea.

Contact Northridge4x4 and ask David for a pair of IPF headlights. You can chose the color of bulb, but neither color matches the stock fog lights. So, throw away the (very expensive) bulbs he supplies you (or sell them or give them away) and replace them with the cheapest Sylvania bulbs--$20 for the pair. Perfect match for the stock fog lamps in color, and a beautiful beam pattern. Not as white as the lights David supplies with the IPFs, but much easier to see the road (I've compared driving side-by-side with the blue bulbs he offers). And, once you have this upgrade, you'll find that your fog lights don't add much that the low beams aren't already illuminating. Which is the way it should be (it shouldn't be necessary to run fogs and main HLs simultaneously--rather defeats the purpose of fog lights!). BTW: Your total cost will be about $200 (not counting what you sell those other bulbs for).
