Fog Lamps in Bright White?

I'm looking to change the "fog" light bulbs to a brighter white color, the ones that actuate when you pull out the headlight switch... Specifically looking for something to better match the halogen lights. Any suggestions?

BTW anyone know how to operate the headlight washers?

can't help you on which lights to use, but I'm pretty sure the headlight washers activate when you activate your windshield washer. That's how most of them operate on other cars.

True, but the lights/xenons must be "on". Otherwise only the windshield get washed, right?

Be careful, use of the headlight washers on my car (and per report) others' results in what I call James Bond DB5 syndrome (ejector seat wannabe status). My washer cover flew off the car, bouncing against the windshield harmlessly.

Until I went to get a replacement. You need to replace the whole nozzle thing...the silver/chrome piece of junk cover that flies off cannot be purchased by itself....50$ or so I think.

Interesting??? The OP asked about switching the color of the foglights and the rest talked about the headlight washer.

to wash your headlights you must push the lever in the opposite direction ( not to pull ) from what i remember

Ari,

I'm running a set of Piaa ION yellow fogs in my turbo. verdict is still out but I like it better than the halogen or bright white

Years ago I replaced the fogs with 5000K s.......headlamp D2S's were changed to 6000K s, so close.
Needless on say, doing the city lights and he sidebars is a must....all I've done.
Search as there is a recent thread.
