Fog Light Question

Need help. I thought I did the research, but now after looking I'm confused. I just bought some fog lights online. Nokya Arctic Yellow H7 Headlight Bulb (Stage 1) 2500K 70W. Will these fit on my 2008 TL? Are these the type others are using without and issues? Thanks

1. Your 2008 TL uses a H8 size fog light bulb.
2. The bulb you purchased is rated at 70w. Factory fogs are intended to be 35w. Yes 70w will be brighter but it will also draw more current and create more heat. That's not a good thing.

Return them and buy some H8 35w nokya yellow fogs.

I've had Hoen Endurance in my car for about 2 years now with no problems.

Nope and nope, if they are h7 they wont fit and 70 watts is too much.You should have gotten H8 35w or 50w, that's what I have

If that's what they recommend you than yes. I don't think they would recommend you a wrong product.
