Default PIAA vs Philips H3 fog bulbs 55W comparison
Factory HID vs...
Car right (your left):
Philips (available in Asia only) Crystal Vision H3 new 4300K "55W=110W" ~US$43

Car Left:
PIAA Super Plasma (US Specs) "55W=85W" 5000K ~US$52

Picture is color corrected in Photoshop (the two Kodak gray cards as control color)

Both are way better than the original Osram bulbs. But PIAA is a closer match to the factory Xenon IMHO. However I am putting the best(PIAA) in my other toy (1997 Porsche C4S) :-)
