What Bulbs Will Match The OEM HIDs?

I've searched and searched many threads and most of the answers i've seen were little bit unclear..., so that's why decided to start a new thread... and my question is -
what bulbs/leds would have the closest match to our OEM HIDs?:

1. High beams
2. Foglights
3. Clear side markers


Any help appreciated!

None, any blue tinted bulb will still be yellow compared to it. LED bulbs will be too blue compared to the OEM HIDs too.

Some white LEDs might match, but I don't get the matching thing anyway..

Foglights (again, my personal opinion) should contrast with your low beams. High beams shouldn't be colored at all, as you want the most visibility you can out of those and NO ONE (else on the road) should ever see them lit.

As for the clear side markers...I don't know about the laws there, but here it's pretty wise to run amber (up front) colors on the sides if you want to avoid a citation.

Thanks for the replys! I just wanted to know what bulbs could match up the HIDs colour - 4300K as closely as possible... For example a white Matrix LED for the Side markers lamps or PIAA Xtreme White Plus/Super White/Super Plasma GT-X H3 for Foglights etc!?

Since i live in ex-socialist country, thanks to friends and "few bucks for cigaretes" i'm not afraid about our Emission/Technical inspections..., where new and used cars have to pass it every 2 years(taxi-1 year)...

MTEC bulbs are the best I've heard of AND seen. The "cosmos blue" line is 4,750K.

Yea. I'd have to agree w/ mydecember1985. I use the MTECs also, but I have the 'super white' bulbs @ 4350k and they're great. & they come w/ lifetime warranty which is always nice. =p

Those are the ones that are 4,350K. I have the 4,750K listed below in the link. I cant read the print on your link, but I'm not sure if those come with the lifetime warranty. The store I bought them from is here.

However, I know you are overseas, so whatever you feel more comfortable with.
Good luck
