Fog Light Replacement Bulbs

Does anyone know what the best fog light replacement bulbs are for our cars?
Looking for Whites or Blues.

You can find a lot of useful information by using the search button at the left side of your screen. Many of the questions you'll eventually ask have probably been addressed numerous times before on this board. The foglight question has (and still is) been beaten to death.

There are several options out there, but for me I was convinced to go with the Sylvania Silverstars by others on this forum and I am still very happy with that decision. Check out this thread for more info (and pictures):

If you want something that almost matches the stock color of the HID's then you should go with the PIAA Super Plasmas. I have seen some other board members photos, and those things look HID, i dont car what anybody says. The only thing about those bulbs is i've heard that they dont last too long. Atleast for some people. And they are expensive.

try the naxos blue 9005(high beam) & 9006(fog). it's even whiter than stock hid. but it normally last around 6 months. check this out fm www.autodirectsave.com
they're selling under a limited warranty & shipping is super fast.

But the Naxos come in 80W only. Someone told me that will burn our fog wires. Please clarify. Thanks.

I just replaced mine with the SilverStars this weekend and think they are a pretty good match to the HID's.

a lot of my friends & i have already used naxos for almost two years, so far on one have the problem that u mentioned. as far as i know, only some retailers will tell u such kind of problems so as to push u of buying their so called upgrade wiring kit. in nj, the naxos' retail price is around $50 but i got it fm autodirectsave for only $12 (which is a group buy of 20 packs but no warranty for the bulbs).

My neighbor has the silverstars on his 01 Grand Prix GTP, I have the PIAA's the PIAAs blow away the silverstars. They look yellow in comparison. It's just no contest.


AT least in my experience!
