It should if it's meant as a replacement for H3.

i have the 1 watt h3 led on the left...not sure if the 9 led one will fit in our fogs, looks too long...i fired them up a few days ago and they are bright for leds but they suck in comparison to h3c or a modded h3. they light up the projector but they dont throw any light at all, not that you would expect it with leds.

i bought 4 pairs of cheap h3c bulbs a few years back and they blew all the time, it drove me nuts. so i bought the leds which should last a lot longer but after seeing them in person, i'm going back to sylvania h3 bulbs modified to h3c. save yourself the trouble and the money and do the same, or buy my leds...

i'll post a pic of the leds in the fogs when i'm done with my tsx retro...just gotta find something to make the shrouds out of...

If i get a HID kid for the fogs, what color should i get to keep the yellow color? 3000k which is yellow, or like the pure white type and like the condom make it look yellow.

^ Most 3000K kits on the market end up looking green, and most of the time, the bulbs won't fit with the condom in place. Undyroos, I know what you mean about the cheap H3cs. I bought a few for about $6 each and they literally fell apart after 3 weeks. The glass separated from the base and fell in the headlight. I picked up a few Koito ones when I was in Japan and they worked very well until I went HID.

on one side i still have one H3c and on the other i have a sylvania H3 modified to fit a H3c plug...i'm sure there's a sticky around about how to do it, or just google it, that's where i found out how to do it, very simple...

^ Yeah, the thread is stickied. IIRC, the dealer is supposed to have some in stock, even though we're the only ones who use them, haha. I still have my Koito ones sitting for emergencies.
