Ofey do you know the difference in light output of the 3 different globes? I am interested in only the fog lights. What would be the difference from OEM ones I have now?

The ones I have sitting as spare, which I pulled out when I got the car, are Sylvania brand ones. Just bog standard 55W HB3/HB4s
I can't tell you the Kelvin temperature of the standard ones, I'd be guessing maybe around 3000-3500K?

Not really.

I do know if you want a more penetrative light, you get the X-treme Power.

The other 2 are more blueish or whit-ish.

The Crystal Visions would match the PIAA for color but I think with FOGs you're not really looking for color but more visibility.

It has been brought to my attention that there are some cheaper ways of getting these bulbs i.e. eBay.

My supplier is the local Melbourne Philips supplier so 100% genuine.
I'm not saying all eBay sales are fake but something to be caveat emptor about.

If you google:
Philips HB4 Crystal Visions Fake

You will find a number of discussions and how some eBay sellers go out of their way to state that theirs are German made originals and NOT a cheap copy nor fake.

I have brought the online pricing to the attention of the distributor and he'll get back to me with a further discount if he can but again, it depends all on numbers.

How are the blue ones lower kelvin than the white ones?

My left headlight chews through bulbs and parkers so I'll see if the price gets lowered...

Would love to get some, but is it just really painful to replace them? Having large hands probably doesn't help either...

Well.... not really. You might have to unscrew the bolt which holds the neck of the wiper fluid resovior.
However I did most of the mangling of my knuckles when trying to cram my fat fingers into the tight space to replace the parker lights.
