2007 TL Fog Light Bulb

I am looking to replace the fog light bulbs in my 2007 Base with Navi TL. I would like to get a blue bulb and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on brand, type, or style. Based on my research H8 is the correct bulb and I have came across OPT7 in the link below and think this looks pretty solid. If anyone has any information I would really appreciate it!

I use Nokya Yellow fog light bulbs. I like the yellow fog light look.

Cheap DC kit. Short life of bulb & ballast, not very bright, takes a while to warm up.

You do get what you pay for, obviously.

I had a cheap HID kit before and it look like shit, 5k bulb luminate like a 10k bulb, I switch over to Morimoto 3five XB35 kit and the result is what I expected from mid to high end aftermarket HID.

For HID fog lights, no need to over spend. Can get the ddm tuning hid kit then an eBay harness for a total of 50$ and make them independent.. yah people are gunna hate, saying its a cheap kit, well I've installed over 5 pairs in headlights and fogs over time without ever having an issue. Just installed a kit in my 4runner yesterday that came with OEM halogen projectors already in the headlights.

I run cree LEDs. I sell them for $60 a pair below, check out the link (endLessrpm.com)

Cree leds don't take time to heat up, no ballasts needed, plug and play and last a long time. oH, leds don't glare like HIDs do..

No relay harness needed either? I'm running LED for my DRL and needed a harness
(at least I think it was called a relay harness. It's early and I just woke up...)

Hi Endless,

What's the difference between your LED bulbs and the 80w (or 60w) led CREE on ebay?

I always though any exterior LEDs needed some type of harness. Guess I know my next mod for my car.

Reason for my confusion was that LEDs for our DRL also claimed to be "plug n play" LEDs. However they had to be plugged into a harness first lol

I beg of anyone doing this mod to stay as far as humanly possible from the electrical nightmare one will incur through a DDM ballast.

What did it do to your car? My mom's 07 accord has a ddm kit. Friends 06 Chrysler 300 does too.

There are many people that use the ddm kit without a problem

well older DDM kit is solid but the recent one is pretty garbage. I refer my co-worker bought two kit for his subi back in 2012 and within a month one ballast blew and another month the other ballast follow, I felt ashame because I had three kits total with DDM and yet 0 issue however my kit was ordered back when average HID kit cost $150.
