I see your problem and I was just trying to give you more sources to atleast find bulbs, but I hope that you can get everything sorted out. Here is a discussion on that same topic a couple of months ago. 6 Speed Online

Edit: Sorry I just saw that you were in the discussion.

And as for the Xenon's I was talking about the factory 4100K xenon's that after about 100 hours of them being on that they will start to turn a darker blue color just by a bit so they might match the PIAA's a little bit better.

And just to make it clear you are talking about the bulb that is circled.

I appreciate all your help on this, thanks. Yes the above circled light is the light I am referring to. In regards to the 100 hours, I am pretty positive mine have been on for more than 100 hours. I looked at my fogs today and maybe they are not bluer, just much different than my xenons. Does philips make fogs that match? That way I can get the same driving lights and at least two sources will match well.

Yes the www.powerbulbs.com has all of the Philips Blue Vision Bulbs that will fit Porsche's. But they are little expensive and they are from England so if you could find a source in America I am sure that you will save some money.

Now, which bulbs fit my car? I know the fogs are H3, but, what about the driving lights. My car is a 2003 911 Turbo and not a choice on the fitment chart on the above website.

I have those circled lights replaced with Phillips.

If you want to go to closer to the car xenon lights brightness, you have to get a generic japanese bulbs.

but with the Phillips H6W Blue Vision bulbs, you can tell that those lights are not YELLOW-ish anymore...

but it will not match the xenons... thye are simply too powerfull/bright.

Do you have a pic of them on? I have the bluevision side marker bulbs, and my concern is they will be too bluish for the parking light bulb.
