Want To Match My Fogs With OSS

I have a beautiful set of OSS Angel Eyes + Blackout + Corner Delete but I can't turn on my fogs because it just looks awful. BTW I Have a 2010 328i e92. I am sure people have found a perfect match to with the low beam. Please help me out on which bulbs to buy for my fogs. Thanks =)

I am in the same boat as you are. I was told Mtec blue 4750k for fog and H3, but I'm not exactly thrilled with the match. If you haven't tried them, it couldn't hurt. Be sure to reach out to Derrick from E92-lighting, he'll hook you up. Did you get the Philips 6700k D1S xenons too? That my man, is a MUST.

No didn't get anything for my fogs yet those are totally stock. Didn't want to touch them until I got a confirmation that they are a perfect match to the OSS.

According to Derrick and Luis they are. I'm not really exstatic over them. IMO, the only "perfect match" would be in the 6000k range (nearly pure white). I have yet to find a set of halogen based fogs that produce a pure white light. I think the only hope for that is in a non-halogen solution. I hope others chime in here to help you.

Ari, if you want to try it out, I would recommend the GP Thunder 8500k H8 Fog Lights for your car. It's going to provide you with a white bulb with a hint of blue that is going to match better than your OEM stock yellow fogs. It's not too bad on the wallet either and is definitely worth a try without having to break your wallet with the HID Fog lights. I'll shoot you over a PM right away!

You don't think 7500s would be a better choice? I mean, the OSS rings are FAR closer to the 6700k spectrum than 8500. I had GP 8500K fogs, and IMO they were too blue from a cosmetic standpoint. Then again, I didn't try them with the OSS lights in....hmmmmm....

I've had it since December of 2009. It's a 2010 in JB and been doing a bunch of mods lately and now changing the colors of my fogs will be my next one, but not my last!

I honestly would just go with HID fogs and be done with it, I went with highperformancebulbs and it was a super easy install once i figured out where to mount the ballasts. They look awesome and will definitely complement those OSS AE's!!

EDIT : I have angel eyebrights now , but I'm switching soon to OSS. I'm pretty sure my fogs will match up nearly perfect.

Outta business. HID fogs would require a ballast install/ modification right?

Ok so where would I be able to get them if they are out of business and what would be an estimated cost? Not looking to spend to much....
