Silly questions (or maybe not) about lights..

Question 1 - is there a bulb I can use for the fog lights that will match the color of the Bi Xenon lights that come with the turbo. I do not like the color difference between the fogs and the headlights.

Question 2 - in regard to the rear fog. I know only one side (the left) lights up, and I am aware this is normal. I also noticed that there is a fog light bulb in the right side rear light assembly. It just does not light up. Is this a computer controlled option? I know some countries use two rear fogs and I personally would like both to operated together. Can this be done?

answer for question #1

I replaced all the lights, (except for the Xenon low-beam) with Phillips. It made a significant difference for the fog-light, and the park lights aaaand my side-marker lights. They are more whiter and the stock lights.
and the Phillips silver vision (turn signal lights) also made the car looks cleaner.

somebody from this board have them on the car, and recomended to me

I hope that helps,
Endra

Answer to question #2, under Rennlist.com (sorry I did not say that) search under Tool pants "Jeff" and he has done the two rear fog set up. Rear fog lights

Edit: I already did the work for you.

I just ordered my silvervisions and blue visions from www.powerbulbs.com, they are a great company, I have ordered multilple bulbs there b4, once 1 of the silvervisions came broken, they over nighted me a new pack (so I got an extra silvervision).
Great Company,
Evan
