question about what lights to get

Match your fogs to your 6000K HID headlights and they won't be fogs anymore. Yeah, it'll probably look cool but you'll be sweating bullets at night under poor conditions. You begin to lose useable light above 4000K - 4500K. And the lower temp bulbs in the fog lamps add needed contrast in dark, poor conditions.
I would think that most any 6000K H10/9145 bulb would be a close match. After all, 6000K is 6000K but then, I've never tried to take a functional fog light and make it just look like a headlight.

After a lengthy back and forth with the owning company of MF, they finally decided that legally speaking we were right! So, with all that hopefully in the past we are back and more than ready to once again support the MustangForum members with discounts on our quality products and general automotive lighting help!
Glad to be back with you all!

Silverstars are 4000K. The Silverstar Ultras are 4100K. Both are still too high temp for useful foglights but the OP is looking for color to match his 6000K HID's.

they use the same wattage as the factory lights just have a blue color to them...so I would imagine I wouldnt loose any functionality out of them
