I have factory fogs and want to put super white bulbs in to match my head and parking lights. Will that be to bright or not. Help please

I put in Nokya Artic White H3s. They are not quite as white as super whites, but that's good because they're not too blinding to on-coming traffic.

where did you get those bulbs?

dustbuster4

eBay. Let me get you the link in a few minutes.

They should be fine. I dont see that they would be too bright considering most hyper white bulbs are dimmer than stock but if they are to bright just aim them down

Here you go.

im probably going to get the factory fogs do they have a white or yellow/amber light? I want an amber/yellow light if it doesent have it in them what bulbs should i get to have that color?

KingsFanPaul1

oh ya and when you get the factory fogs installed do they put a switch the car so you can turn thme on and off?

Factory fog lights come with a white bulb.

Yes, the factory fog light kit comes with a switch. If I were you, I'd install the kit myself. Only take about 90 minutes, and the instructions are very thorough.

dad works at dealership they will install for free. thanks. can you put an amber bulb in it or do you have to kit the same white bulb?

dustbuster4

Good for you!

I imagine you can put in an amber H3 bulb (or any color bulb as long as its H3).

Changing the bulbs only takes a few minutes, although it's easier to change the bulbs BEFORE they are mounted. If the fog lights are already mounted, you have to take them back off in order to change the bulbs.

Good luck!

well if i did do it myself so that I could change the bulbs first is it easy to install the switch? and where does it go? does it looks cheap?

dustbuster4

Yes, the switch is easy to install.

The switch will be mounted on the console, to the right of the gear shift. If you have heated seats, there's a switch to the left of the gear shift. The switch for the fog lights looks similar in size and shape.

Right now, there should be a "plug" covering the hole where the switch will be mounted. Using a small flat head screwdiver, you carefully pry the plug out of the hole. Once out, you'll find that the wires that you need to plug into the switch are connected to the back of the plug. Just disconnect the wires from the plug, put them onto the swtich, then push the switch into the hole. You're done!

The most time consuming part of mounting the fog lights is cuting the front grill and routing the wire harnesses under the hood. Everything is explained with the install instructions you get from the parts department. Good luck!

do the factory fogs only work with the low beams? I know some factory foglights turn off depending if they are on high or low beams?

dustbuster4

Exactly, the fog lights ONLY work when the low beams are on. The fogs won't come on when you have only the parking lights on, and the fogs shut off when you put the high beams on.
