Fog lights to match HID headlights?
 
Just this past weekend I bought a 08 Mustang GT and I love it! First(little) thing I want to do is change out of the fog lights to match the HID headlights. Has anyone done this or have any suggestions? I think I read the HID in the mustang are 5300K and the fog light size is H10. Not sure if I should get LED's like these (http://store.ijdmtoy.com/9005-HB3-LE...-lights-4d.htm) or if there are halogen bulbs that can match the brightness level of the HID's. Any suggestions?

RetroSolutions 5000k H10 HID kit... All plug-n-play and they work great!

+1 That'd be the hot ticket. H10 Kit

thanks guys! But $154? I put HID's in my last truck and that was only $70 for 55W at 10000k. Any other ideas? Those look great but trying to be a little easier on the wallet lol.

HOEN bulbs look close enough to HID, and they're only about 30 bucks. Plus you don't have to worry about ballasts, power, etc. They are a direct swap.

Ahh yes, exactly what I was looking for. My car didn't come with a owners manual, but to clarify what I've seen elsewhere, the fog lights are H10 correct?

Sylvania's website says the '08 GT uses H11 bulbs.

9145ST SilverStar: The brighter and whiter light. Up to 35% brighter, up to 30% more downroad visibility and up to 35% more sideroad visibility.
H11
H11SU SilverStar Ultra: The brightest and whitest light. Up to 50% brighter, up to 40% more downroad visibility and up to 50% more sideroad visibility.
H11ST SilverStar: The brighter and whiter light. Up to 35% brighter, up to 30% more downroad visibility and up to 35% more sideroad visibility.

Yeah this is weird. Getting both answers different places. With that link to the mustang source, everyone is saying they got the H10(which is what the Hoen site says for the Mustang) but Sylvania is saying H11.

The H11 kit refers to the v6 pony package. The H10 is the kit you need. Trust me, I ordered the wrong kit through retro-solutions due to the same problem.
