where to buy Hoen Endurance bulbs?

i really want to get these for my fogs, but the Hoen site says they are out of stock. I did some searches and couldnt find anyone else who sells these.

So is there any other place to buy them?

also, is the 06 fogs 9006?

i know what you are going to say, "do a search!", and i did. but the first ten pages all talked about the 07-08 fogs, or accord fogs, or....etc

Nokya Hyper Yellow $25

Hoen Yellow $40

It's only $15 difference...I would love to know the difference between them, which one gives more output and, which "Yellow" will go better with my WDP...the cool yellow from Nokya....or an emergency light yellow from Hoen... dunno.

my bad, i was thinking that was per bulb

i would say if you want yellow, go Hoen, otherwise just go with a bright white from whatever brand matches closest to the headlights. i know there is a lot a threads researching the white fogs.;

ok I just did my research...other forums...youtube....

So far this is how it goes down:

1) Nokya Hyper Yellow
2) Luminics Yellow
3) Hoen Endurance... (there's a youtube video...I don't like 'em)

I'll go with Nokya Yellow...my current Arctic White only look nice but have zero output.

Luminics JDM Yellow (2500K). 12V 35W / 110W

Nokya 2500K 12V35 / 55W 2500K

Nokya will def. be better for our wiring... Luminics will be brighter...and they are $6 bux in price difference.

Don't know which choice to go with.

you said you are looking for a "cooler yellow", right? then i think your 1-3 list is correct, i would say Nokia, but its hard to tell from the pics what they really look like.

i still think the endurance are for me, unless someone else can sway me. btw, i want a darker yellowy yellow

Hmm, I can't find any pics of Luminics Yellows....

Nokya vs Luminics...which one will fill up the fog light lens more? Meaning, at night, I would want to see just yellow bright coming out of it...without seeing the bulb (i know hid will achieve that...but I don't want hid in the fogs)

Which one will look best on WDP...

i asked Hoen when the 9006 will be in stock, and also why you cant buy them anywhere else, and this is what he said:


Jamin, they will be in stock in just under 4 weeks. The Endurance is only
manufactured by Hoen. There are other 'yellow' type bulbs out there but
we like to think ours are superior. PIAA is the only other bulb we could
recommend but at almost 2x the price hard to justify.

Of course he will claim his bulb is superior, every manufacturer would

I really need to see how Hoen would look in our fog light housing.

IMO i believe so. over the years ive tried them all. and the three main ones IMO would be HOEN, PIAA then NOKYAs in that order. here are some pictures. they are Kaixens 6500Ks and HOEN endurance yellows.

thanks man, i really like the way they look too. and i think they will actually help to improve the functionality of the fogs. it sucks that it is light out so late though, but i think i am going to try to test them out tonight before i pass out. i was just too tired last night to go for a ride.

Word up, let us know the light output and if you can see them or not... and if road visibility was changed.

All i can say is i really like

Others have mentioned before that these bulbs allow you to see the headlights better, and i totally agree. I noticed with the stock fogs that when they are on, they kinda "overpower" the headlights and take away that headlight line that exists when they are off. These do not do that. You are still able to see the headlights as far as they usually reach, but you also get the added side light that the fogs provide. Now the color is yellow instead off-white, but i personally think they look pretty cool. I was trying to get out to work early enough to catch some fog, but it was gone by the time i left. Once i do i will let you all know how they perform...

Maybe tonight i will try to get out there with the camera so i can show what i am talking about. i wont have a before an after pic, but it will at least be something to compare with you who are still stock.




One more thing...

I know in another thread someone asked if you could see the yellow bulb when they are off, and that answer is no. At least for the fogs up top. The bulb is hidden behind that metallic bulb thing in the middle of the fog light.
