One went out yesterday, so i'm thinking of replacing both with some better ones...any recommendations? I'm debating going with yellow, or a xenon type, but i dont want to look ricey, i might just get another stock one. Anyone got pics?
yes, they're H3 blubs.
I would be cautious in going with anything higher than the standard wattage (55w?)... anything higher and you run into the possibility of overheating the housing and cracking your lenses.
I just picked up a set of the nice PIAA yellow bulbs (H3, 55watt). I really like the way the yellow casts on the ground, it highlights objects on the road better than the standard bulbs IMHO....
http://www.powerbulbs.com they used to give you a free set of yellow sylvania H3 bulbs if you order a set of philips headlight bulbs. I like them, but I think I may put the PIAA's back on there.
Just got back from Advanced Auto, they had 3 choices for H3s...I have yet to look at Pep Boys, etc...First choice was normal Hella 55W. They also had Hella 100w and Optilux 55W Xenon White "Made by Hella"
Has anyone used 100W bulbs in their fogs, or the Optilux bulbs...any positive or negative reults? Prices were close for all 3.
I put Sylvania H3 100 watts in my fogs....
They are bright as hell and a little slightly more yellow than stock. I liked em but love my Xtreme PIAA's better.....
I just read in another post that quite a few people had problems with the 100W ones being too hot and burning out in a few weeks, or cracking the lens...anyone used the "Optilux" ones??
Wanna buy my stock H3 55watt? Free shipping. Let me know. Make an offer you are comfy with and you feel is fair for the pair (that way you will have a back up).
