Fog Light Replacements

Hey I was planning on replacing the ugly ass yellow foglights w/ some white lights to match the xenon HIDS. Is this process hard or long? Also What kind should I get? I want a pure white kind to match the HIDS not blueish ones. I also want them pretty bright its possible. Any suggestions? thanx!

I actually went the other direction and put some true yellow fog bulbs in the car. I wanted to have a bit of a contrast given that those runing with pure white fogs on are going to have everyone thinking their brights are on. That being said, the process to change the bulbs is really easy. Just need to remove the front right and left palstic engine covers and remove a secondary cover from the drivers side.

As for light choice, I would go PIIA extreme whites. Those bulbs are the best aftermarket pure white bulb I have seen, and I have a lot of friends that have experimented. The bulbs are really expensive, but they last a long time and look good.

Can you tell us which bulbs you went with (the yellow ones)

Thanks!

But of course... after cycling through Raybrig, Polarg, and PIIA yellow bulbs, I found the cheapest and easiest to obtain performed the best... Nokya bulbs

Photos are posted here, and do a pretty good job of showing the new bulbs off.... http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ucsbchris2001 Though the pics may make it seem like the yellows overtake the HIDs, they do a good job of working with the HIDs, but still being distinct enough to be able to tell that the car does have HIDs
