DO NOT buy the Eurolite 893's. They say they provide the blue/white light you want but they dont. They are no different than the stock bulbs. Eurolite does have a series called the Xenon Fusion and those are really bluish white but the do not carry the 893's in the Fusion product line.

they are good, had to put an extra layer of silicone so that they wouldnt leak... It came with wiring adapter etc.. if you want some I have a hookup, $100 US for 2 with bulbs + wiring.

Go with PIAA's!!!

I did a small review of the H4 conversion versus a true H.I.D. conversion in the Electronics Forums, if you want to check it out. But anyway, if you want a set of driving lights (fog lights) to match those new headlamps, I would recommend PIAA lights. You can start your search here. I know alot of people will recommend that you just put new bulbs in your stock foglights, but that will never make as much light as the PIAA lights primarily because of the reflective properties of the insides of the PIAA's versus the Stocks. I bought a set of PIAA 1000X Platinum driving lights for my 92 B4C for $100. I will be installing them as soon as I move the Z-28 Grill Insert from my 90 to the 92. You can check out the specs on the 1000X Platinum's here. I think they are an excellent choice for daily driving, and they will match the brightness of the headlamps you installed. Here's a pic:



And here's another pic that will show you how the brightness levels differ between lamps ... notice how the PIAA lamps are right below true H.I.D. setups and above conventional halogen lamp setups ...
