Default Matching HID Fog Lamps

For all the Alberta folk, Core Customs in Calgary does awesome work installing matching HIDs. Had them do both of my vehicles and couldn't be happier with the results. Professional install, top notch hardware..... at a reasonable price.



Check it out:

Looks great, bright white HID in the fogs.

What color temperature did you go with to get the match? And what brand are they? For reference the OEM color temperature in the HID headlamps are 4300K.

Any issues with foglight errors on the dashboard?

Looks good! So which hid fog you use on your S5? I used to have xenondepot hid fog on my other cars. But they don't have one yet for 2013 S5. Have you compare Heon xenon match too? I am tossing between hid & heon

No errors.

Looks good! This is one of the first things I do with all my vehicles. Its about an hour’s work to install an HID kit and good ones are quite reasonably priced these days. I think I may go the other direction with our Q5 and try the 3,000k yellow’s on her. I have them in my SRT8 and I love the way they perform in snow conditions. We will be using the Q5 as our primary ski cruiser now so makes sense to set her up that way I think. The matching temps is also nice though!

I went a differrent way this time: I changed the standard halogen H11 bulbs with Nokya Hyper Yellow H11 2500K 55W halogen bulbs.
It is a direct swap 2 minutes job and I love the results.
Here is a picture. The actual result is even more yellow than on the picture.

Not too shabby looking. In comparison to 2500-3000k HID's do you think they are close to being as bright? Obviously they are half (or less) the cost than a full HID conversion kit.
Where did you buy them from?
