I am torn between goin with Xenon match bulbs for my oem foglights or with Nokya Yellow bulbs. Which do you think compliments the car better?? hmm........

 

do you have stock fogs or aftermarket? if they are after market how do they operate? is it hard wired or remote? -thanks

 

i want xenon match bulbs, but searching for them is a beeotch, anybody know some good ones off the top of their head? That's probably the only thing stopping me from getting fogs, i really dont want yellow

 

I was thinking of going with http://www.hoen-usa.com/fog.htm the H11's?? What do you think. They are supposed to be a Xenon match.

 

I have the Hoen's on my car and they match very well although I am going to do an HID conversion in a few months.

 

I have these and they look great PERFECT!! Wish they still made H1s. Went with Philips and they are a little more blue.

 

explanation?

 

You can buy a HID conversion kit for about 300, that installs into the fog lights, its basicly a bulb replacment.

Make sure those HID upgrades aren't too bright and don't throw too much light around or you'll be a hazard to other drivers and a target for law enforcement.

As for the bulb color, I recommend the Nokya yellows. Functionally, yellow/amber light is far superior to whiter colors in inclement weather, which is what fog lights are designed to work in. Yellow produces much less perceptible glare to the human eye than whiter colors do, so it increases visibility greatly. Same reason why ships and aircraft use red interior lighting at night to preserve the crew's night vision.

Oh and I have the Nokya H11s.

 

the HID's will be much brighter but I am still using the stock lens which has a very narrow dispurcement pattern.

 

I say the yellow nokya bulbs

They give it a very sporty look like the IS300 fogs.

They are my pick

 

 

so do you have my fogs too

 

lol I got those a while ago Didn't even know you had them until this post we just have similar tastes (jdm )

 

JDM all the way haha

 

I can't wait for our photoshoot

 

you can come up and meet over thanksgiving and pick up your hood and we can install it. haha

 

What do you guys think about Nokya Hyper Yellow H11 versus Luminics JDM Yellow H11.

Nokya draw is 55 and output is 80

Luminics draw is 55 and output is 130

i dont know i love my nokya bulbs so i am gonna stick with them. I know they work.

 

Same here,

 

you got the nokya yellows too

 

Do you guys think I will have a problem if I install the Luminics with the 55 draw and 130 output.

Could they be too hot or too bright?

 

my nokya are really really bright and they are only 85w

 

edit: ^^^ actually they're only 55W, although the package says 85W in big font. Look at the number stamped on the base of the bulbs...

That's "virtual light output" and it means exactly shit. The only thing that matters is the electrical load the bulbs draw. If it's 55W, they'll work just fine. They may run slightly warmer due to the coating blocking some of the light and dissipating it as heat, but I doubt it would be much. It hasn't been a problem for me with the Nokyas.

 

yup, Love em

 

Hey guys,

What is the best way to remove the stock factor fog lights? So I can replace the bulb? I have the print out and I see a bolt type screw underneath the bumber. However, the screw that I have to remove on the side seems like a real pain to get to. I can't really see it and I am afraid if I try and remove it I will have a difficult time screwing it back on. Any ideas?

Thanks!
