Yes they still use H11's

The surrounds are diff if u get the "JDM" styled ones, and there is no glare sheild.
But the "OEM" styled ones are exact duplicates surrounds and all.

But just know, these fogs, esp. on 04-05's, are prone to cracking.

So the ebay ones are interchangable, just that eventually they are most likley goin to crack again....

How would you recommend nokya yellows? You've got a CGP too, I think?

I'm so torn between either going yellow or matching them with my headlights. I only see fog when I go to vegas in the winter time (in the mountains), otherwise more driving lights might be more useful....argh, can't decide lol

^^to be honest, I did like the yellow on my CGP but the nokyas died after a couple months of using them so I upgraded to the Hoens. They also make a yellow fog bulb so you might want to check that out instead of the nokyas.

I have a cgp with oem jdm yellow fogs with a yellow housing. At first I was gonna go clear with HID conversion, but my budget put it on hold, i ended up just getting the yellow and get nokya yellows. here's some pics


Fogs only, behind windshield






(oem on left, nokya on right)

So I can purchase them for the lens, and they'll "look" just like the OEMs... even if I only replace one side? This will be the 3rd time I'd have to purchase a replacement lens for one of my foglights. It's getting so friggin' expensive at $99 a pop + shipping! The OEMs are going to crack again anyway, so if I only have to spend ~$30 to get the ones from eBay, I might as well save SOME money, eh?

Yup.

Just for reference, notice the subtle difference in the black plastic surrounds.

"JDM" version: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...spagenameZWDVW

OEM Style: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-06...spagenameZWDVW

Yeah if you want to have the OEM look, those will match.

The "JDM" version surrounds/brackets are different, but are best if you plan on getting the Euro-R front lip in the future.
