New fog light bulbs
hopefully i can now drive around with the fogs without people thinking i have the high beams on
here is a pic of the old
and a pic of the new one
another old one from up top
and the new one from top
thats the most yellow i can get it without spending an arm and a leg on yellow HIDs.
btw, those bulbs are from midnight moose. took awhile to get, but its a lot cheaper then anywhere else
tell me what ya think of em
o ya, does anyone notice anything odd about the lights? hehehe

I like them, although that's a big yellow light!
does it make a difference when you turn them on ?
It would be great if we could turn them on without the xenon lights, that way we can really use them in the fog.

the clear coat fades in the sun fairly quickly and it gets dull and it gets a white haze after awhile. just doesnt look good. also, the hood is so light that it can rattle on the freeway and over bumps. that is if you don't use hood pins. the other thing about using hood pins are that it actaully creates a dent after awhile on the CF hood. its just not worth it.

there are slight differences. i was mostly going for the fact that i could have the fogs on though....
hope this helps!
i personally like the contrast in color that it gives.....
so no1 has noticed an odd color difference in the pictures yet? (hint: i'm not talking about the fogs)
the yellow fogs give a wider range on each side as well as immediately on the floor in front of the car in retrospect to the hids.
when i used it driving behind som1 today, i dont have the sharp contrast of the top of the HID line. it fades to yellow on the car in front of me

i expected som1 to see that before the optically illusioned CF hood that i did by accident...
i changed the turn signal bulbs to super white LEDs the wide angle ones with 15(i think) bulbs. it doesnt blink as bright but i like how its a different color then the amber/orange. and i was also bankin on em bein close to the fog bulbs i put in today. luckily that worked out...
its kinda hard to compare if it is brighter then stock, but you can deffinitely notice it more due to the drastic difference in color. if you look closely at the actual headlight housing on the different colors, it looks as though the stock ones may be brighter because it is harder to see the actual interior of the headlight assembly, but i feel it safe to say that the MAX golds will work better in actual fog.
again, MY MAIN REASON FOR CHANGING THE BULB IS SO THAT PEOPLE DO NOT THINK MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON and second... i like the look. its unique, sort of

i'm not sure if you are able to. you may want to check on the bulb type. if it's the same, i do not see why you can't change it. i would imagine it to be the same. when i look up the bulb type on sylvania's site, it doesnt differentiate between the US and Canada models.
i use this site for figuring out what bulb is what http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm

for some reason, with the yellow fogs on.... the HID looks more blue and clear on the far shots. its odd. if you compare the color closely off the cars in the shot.... maybe im just trippin.... dang, i need some sleep

but the candian model has no "on-off" switch for fog lights, is it easy to add a switch?

Why would you get high-beamed? If I saw 4 lights on an oncoming car I would assume that the fogs were on. Nobody is stupid enough to drive in the fog or hard snow with their high beams on.

PS I do like the yellow color you have in those fogs, though. Nice job.

I only got high beamed once, in a dark dark area w/ no street lights, and thats out of so many cars passing me. In south o.c. there are many benzos,beemers with hids should be fine in Irvine.

Love The Gold
I Love The Gold Fogs. I Honestly Didn't Know We Even Had Fogs. I Thought I Read The Manual Front To Back..must Have Missed That Page. Just To Confirm: They Are Max Gold, #9006 55w For $19.99 Pr. Were They Hard To Put In? I Want Mine Changed Over Asap.

Those are the right specs on the bulbs. Ayethetiense must have ordered last week when I posted the Halloween sale info. They were on sale for $15/pair.
Go to the 3G garage for detailed instructions on changing the fogs.

i bought the PIAA fog lights for like 60 dollars and there is no comparison. hands down to piaa for making such an awsome set of fogs. it makes a HUGE difference on the road at night. especially if you want to see more towards the left and right on dark roads to see deers or something.

thanks, im sure ill enjoy it lol.
those pics look great, car looks even better ,
although i agree it will be hard to get the color difference.
on the piaa bulbs, there is so called the "plasma coating" which is just some shiny stuff that changes color as it reflects off the light, so sometimes you will see a little purple in the yellow, its not a solid yellow like yours. its just like the blue coating they put on the "HID bulbs"

Can someone just tell me where I can order these from and if there are any coupons out still somewhere? Thanks.
Tne stock lights for the fogs are stupid and I have never used them. At least with these there is a difference in the color so you can turn them on to show off or something.

Quick question for anyone out there that knows something about how the foglights and the headlight is setup on the TL. I notice the only time you can turn on the foglight is when the headlight is on. Has anyone out there figured out how to by-pass that and wire it up to where you can just have the foglight on by itself without the headlight being on also? I guess I'll do alittle more searching on my own but, if anyone out there knows how would you please clue me in on how to make it work without the headlight on also. Thanks a bunch guys...

I'm assuming here, but I assume the fog lights are what would be used if our car had DRL's. Maybe you want to see how to enable DRL's?
Or are you just looking for the "Cool Guy IROC/Z" mod (driving with parking lights and fogs on).
