Has anyone changed thier fog lights with PIAA Bulbs

I've changed the fog light on my Max and it was easy, since all I had to do was take the plastic protective cover under the front of the bumber.

How do the Cuzo's compare with the new Sylvania Super's? I know that the Sylvania Super's can replace stock bulbs without any concerns to wiring or heat.

Mojomn7g,

Thanks for the info :2:

I'm going to change my bulbs this weekend.

BTW, what is the bulb size for the fogs?

 

[jaak]

I put Sylvanias in the headlights (Don't have HID's boo hoo...) and it changed the colour slightly, but did not increase the light output.

Not that I'm surprised, as most of these things are standard bulbs with a blue coating to alter the output colour temperature.

If the HID kit's weren't so expensive, I'd get a couple of sets. One for the headlights and one for the fogs. Or maybe just the fogs.

Anyway, it's only 'cause I'd like them, not 'cause I need 'em!

jaak,

Don't worry At the rate HID's are going on new cars, the cost of adding one, will go down dramatically. :4:

Fog bulbs

I have found that Hoen has the best ones I have seen, I have them on my BMW and they match the HIDS perfectly. Here is there website: http://www.hoen-usa.com/

The size for our MO is 9006 in the fogs.

[KSmurano]

Kris - would you use 80 watts?
I think I would have to stick to the 55's

Here's an informative site on auto lighting. Go to the TECH section, BULBS and read article on BLUE BULB CONTROVERSY.

The site offers a lot of good information

What is the part number for the parking lights?

Haven't I read about someone using PIAA white leds?

FWIW, here are the bulb specs from the SM:

Kris , I used the xenonmatch. They look great.

 

[KSmurano]

Gator - did you change out your parking lights?
They almost seem brownish with the xenons.

 

[03GatorSE]

Nope, not yet. I will in the future though. Not sure which bulb to use that will match as close as the fogs do.

Hey Speedy,
I just finished changing my fog lights to ultra white Cuzo's (best match for the HIDs). You will have to take off the front splash guard to gain access to the back of the fog light. Tip: Turn wheels away from the side that you are working on.

How much did you pay for them and where did you get them?

Why does the SM show 35 watt H3 bulbs listed and then the OM (What is OM anyway?) show 51 watt HB4 buls listed for the same application? Then 03GatorSE says he/she installed 9006 bulbs in the fogs. Did I miss something here?

 

[hfelknor]

Really? 35 in one and 51 in the other?

SM - Service manual
OM - Owners manual
