Fog Lights

I just realized one of my fog lights is out. Is this a do-it-yourself thing? Any recommendation on Bulbs? I hear PIAA has bright white foglight bulbs which match the Zenon headlights nicely.

Nader I have the Piaa's and the match is almost perfect - Loos 100000% better than the standard yellow fogs

Thumbs up Look in your owners manual

it shows you how to replace the bulbs. It is not hard at all.

What size are they...h3?
Has anyone tried to see how it would look with yellow bulbs?
For some reason I like the contrast, it brings out the xenon color.
Does anyone have pictures of either blue/xenon and yellow fog lights installed?

Just an idea...

Piaa Ion crystal (yellow) 3100K

Platinum Super 3800K

Xtreme White 4150K

Super Plasma 5000K

Which one is best?

h3 fog light temperatures

PIAA SPARK BLUE 7500K

These are next in chronological order from my previous post. They are 55W=85W output @ 7500K.

My question is, will any of these bulbs produce enough heat to damage/melt the headlamp lense or assembly, that the stock bulbs would not?

Thanks...
