Fog lights bulbs?

What kind of fog lights bulbs do I need to buy to get that (blue) xenon maching look?
Where do I buy them?
Thanks

PIAA might possibly have some blue ones...but if you actually want visibility, you should go with those yellow lights you see here and there; they come on the Lexus IS300. I forgot exactly what is it about them, but they are the only light that make things more visible in bad weather like hard rain and fog, not to mention how cool the contrast between H.I.D and strong yellow fogs looks like. PIAA definately has these yellow ones I'm talking about becuase a member named "is300" did it to his Evo....I wonder why.

They are H11 halogen bulbs. A number of bulb manufacturers have the blue tinted ones. Try Toucan, IPF, or Nokya.

yellow fogs with blue HIDs? hmmm, but I always recall the yellow fogs always out-shined the HIDs on those IS300s....in other words it takes the attention away from the HIDs, and the IS300's are even on the bottom of the bumper too.

I'll have to see one on the Evo first before I do it, i think the light spacing is just too close.

I have the PIAA yellow ion Fogs on a MR. The HIDs with projectors, No comparison HIDs are way brighter, For real bar weather driving tilt the HIDS down and drive on the fogs. Works great, looks great both ways.

I think the best bet would be to USE the toyota bulbs themselves..I think they are called "yellow capsules"..Look around on hidtech.com I think someone was selling them I'll see what I can find out about what type bulb they are..
