I ordered mine from http://www.car-gym.com/catalog/index.php]Car Gym[/URL]. I should get them next week.

I bought PIAA Xtreme Force H11's and Xtreme Force LED 194's. They are 4700K. They are Japan market PIAAs and kind of expensive, but I have the Xtreme White Plus now and they aren't that much whiter than stock, a little, but still yellow next to the HIDs. They are 4150K. Most of the cheaper ones available on ebay are too blue. Hopefully I'll be happy with these, I'm spending too much on getting the lighting just perfect.

If I do like the look, I'll probably get the Xtreme Force H9's for the high beams also to complete the look.

The other problem that I've been having is with the cheap 194 LEDs from places like autolumitation. They're all called "superwhite", but the colors don't match. They vary from bluish to greenish, one was a nice white and that ended up in my rear license lamp. I'm hoping these PIAAs will be bright enough and truly match the H11s and the HIDs. If I'm not satisfied with them I might try the PIAA Tera. Now that's a serious 194 and would look great as a parking light. Spendy though.

I have had no issues with autolumination.com All my bulbs in my car are from them. I strongly suggest them but I do recommend doing some research.

Unfortunately I installed the MS front and never got around to re-installing the fogs. But I made my choice based on this thread. I bought the 55w replacements. Alot of people didn't think they were bright enough but I didn't want overpowering light, just not the yellowish tint of stock. They also sell the 80w H11 for a few bucks more.

I got some Nokya Arctic White 100w bulbs of eBay, though I dont really think they are 100w. fyi I suck at taking pics, especially at night.

To follow up: the Xtreme Force H11's look perfect! Probably about as close as you're going to get to the HIDs from a halogen. Very happy with them. The Xtreme Force LED 194s however are as blue as a honda's windshield washer nozzles and look very tacky.
