Hey guys i just installed a new lightbulb for my 05 NBP fog. I put in a NOKYA 80 watts Arctic Purple 8500K Stage 2. u guys should change out ur stock for one of these. THEY LOOK GREAT. I'll put some pics up when i get the chance. I got them from EBAY for cheap. They give u a choice of color and temperature too. There's Arctic Purple, Cosmic White, and Arctic White. Make sure u get the Stage 2 80 Watts if u get the Stage 1 it's only 55 watts.. it's not bright enough

How hard are they to replace?

Do you have to pull the bumper or fender wall lining to get back there?

If so, anyone have a DIY?

Thanks!

 

These bulbs replace the factory fog lights in the headlight units. Instructions for replacement are in your Owner's Manual. No bumper removal needed.

 

Careful not to touch the bulb. If you have the lower fogs then you have to do through the wheel well. Very easy to do. I wonder if those would be too hot for the lower fogs?

 

I bought 5000k ones from ebay. total cost was 7.99 shipped they are no Nokya but hey its half the price.

Great bulbs here. Ive got the yellow Nokya fogs on my 05 and could not be happier.

 

nokya are the best aftermarket fogs. i've tried a few different brands and either the fit is bad or the light output isn't as good as nokya. wish i'd known that before i wasted $100 on a few other crap brands.

 

WAIT!!! I advise you to really take those bulbs out! Stage I is what is recommended for our cars and for good reason. Stage II 80 watts is too much! They draw too much for the wiring to handle and burn hot. I know the risk is more with 100 watt bulbs but even with 80 the risks are there. I wouldn't recommend 10 watts more than OEM (65watts) to be on the safe side.

With 100 watts, I have seen people melt headlights, reflectors lose their reflective coating, harnesses melting, (that burnt plastic smell!) melted wiring and even underhood fires! Dangerous and costly mistakes to make.

If you really want to do 80 watts. (I did this safely on a car long ago) the least you should do is wire in a relay and separate in-line fuse. Just had to put a warning out there for you.

 

+10^^^

 

The Nokya Yellows are Stage1 bulbs.

 

Can we see some pics of the yellow or purple nokya fogs with the headlights on. Thanks!~

 

They are easy to change. you gotta feel around with your hands though. coz u can't really see it. I'll take pics of them when i get the chance. SOON!

 

Good advice!!! Not worth the risk unless the light housing and wiring are rated for 80 watts, which stock is NOT.

How I run during the day

 

Guys, Rocky is absolutely right. Here's my fogs...

 

Which is better (your personal opinion), purple or yellow?
More a performance question, than aesthetics... My WAG is that yellow cuts through mist/rain/fog better than purple, but wanted to hear from others' experiences.

 

Also, the yellows are listed as stage 1, but output 70W, higher than OE. Is this a concern?

 

Still curious on how the stage 2 purple noka's look. I do think the nokya stage 1 yellows are nice!

 

I don't know if 9006 will fit our fogs. I have Nokya H8's in mine.

 

*
'04-'06 = 9006/hb4.
'07-'08 = h8.

 

Correct-H8 bulbs for the fogs and 9006's for the DRL's (2007/2008's)

 

hey i was wondering if someone could help me out.... i'm a little confused. I want to get these fog lights to match my stock xenons on my 07 TL-S..

NOKYA Arctic White Pro Halogen H8 (Stage II)

12V55W
High Wattage
7,000K
Manufactory Part #: H8

First off... will these be a good match to the stock xenons? and second, are these ok for my car? they're only rated at 55W which i'm almost postive should be ok.. thanks.

 

Mike, that's what I have in my fogs. I really like them-they are a big improvement over the OEM bulbs. The 12 volt/55 watts are fine!

 

great!! thanks, just placed the order. can't go wrong for about $20.

 

Where are you ordering these from? Anyone have a link? Looking to do the same with my TL-S. Thanks

 

Steven - where did you order your fogs from?

Thanks but those are H4, not H8, yellow, not arctic white and 70W, not 55.

I will search eBay for the ones recommended above.

 

Same seller has the H8 for $19.98. Just concerned the say headlight on the packaging.

 

Id like to see the pics of the purple bulbs. I like the yellow, but have a feeling the purple will look better....

 

I ordered them from Autolumination.com

 

Steven I thought the DRL's for the 07 was a 9005 not the 9006. I ordered the 9005 a few days ago. Am I screwed now?

 

OState-9005's are correct. That was a typo on my part. I apologize for the confusion.

 

Lol ok cool ya had me pretty scared there for a second! Thanks for getting back to me on that!

 

Buddy, I'm sorry about that-I didn't proof my response before I posted. Didn't mean to make your heart stop for a second!!!! By the way, they're a bitch to get to (on the drivers side). The passenger side is easy, but we had to take out the battery to get to the DRL on the driver side. But the 2nd time we replaced the bulbs, we just took out the venting that is between the battery and the headlight assembly-that worked OK (without taking out the battery). It's just a cramped space.

 

No worries bro! So if I take out the battery is it a pretty easy task? Fogs easy to get too? I ordered Nokya fogs and drl's.

 

Buddy, you don't need to take out the battery for the foglights and the turn signals. You can get to both of those from the wheel wells. You only need to remove the battery for the DRL's.

 

For $10 more get HID, like I did. For stock fog & accord fog I have 35W & 5000K. When my stock low & fog is ON, glass on the headlights just little worm.

 

HID even better

 

Vic has a good point-HID's are nice, but I wanted to go for the simple fix.
