Not feeling the color of my foglights
I'm not feeling the color of my foglights on my new 08 TL-S. Any recommendations on H8 35 Watt bulb that would match little closer to my HIDs? I may even be willing to go the other way around, and go totally yellow. I have PIAA Ion Plasma Yellows as my RSX foglights, and like it. I don't see PIAA making the H8 size. On the "HID match side", has anyone tried Hoen Xenonmatch? I see some people here use Nokya Arctic Whites. How do they match up to your headlights?

NetDiver, I did exactly what you want to do. I wanted the fog output to be on the same line as the HID's. I bought Nokya H8 7000k 55W bulbs. Here's one thing to watch for....some people on this site have said the 55watt bulbs will melt the foglight housing and the wiring. I've asked many people about this. They told me that the 55w bulbs are actually a 35w bulb (like our stock ones) but put out a 55w light. Plus, with a 7000k bulb, I'm satisfied that these bulbs have done the trick. But they warned me not to go over 55w because they will damage your foglight housing and wiring. I was looking for a simple fix and found it with these bulbs.

I appreciate everyone's input. I will probably try the Nokya's first, because it's inexpensive. If I'm still not satisfied with the results, I will opt for the HID conversion, but I'm hoping I won't have to go the more expensive route. Thanks guys.

Steven, do you have any pics of your fogs? I've seen pics of the Hoens, but the Noykas are almost $20 cheaper. I had Noyka headlights in my last car and wasn't happy w/ the output

Cool...good for you! I'm confident you'll be happy with the Nokya's. Were you able to find the 35w/55w bulbs OK?
