Fog light specs...

[BEARS-SS]

Alright, I'm a little OCD. When I pull up behind a black truck or anything that shows a reflection of my beautiful car, I immediately switch on my halos. Why? You ask? I'll tell you...the yellowish haze coming from my stock fog lights bothers the crap out of me.

Does anybody know, or has anyone found a good matching fog replacement bulb that shines more white (like the RS package headlights)?

Sorry if this is a repost, but I've been searching for a post on this for a while and haven't seen it.

I may be mistaken, but if you have the HID lights and Halos, then you do NOT have fog lights, they are DRL's (Daytime Running Lights), and aren't near as bright as the fog lights.

AAC sells LED fog lights... but they are $99/pair. but they seem to pretty well match the Halo/HID coor..... search for P13W or AAC or look in the exterior/lighting forum.

I too hate the yellow. I'm also thinking about Amber replacements as well... but neither is worth $100 to me.... $40, maybe?

Oh no, you're not mistaken. I turn on the halos to turn off the fog lights. I think they are pretty ugly and am looking for a brighter and whiter light out of them.

AAC P13W will fix the issue.

Use with caution though as once you install them you will want to pull up behind reflective items all the time!

I have the 5202 bulds from AAC in my fog lights. They are bit of a PITA to put in. I ended up snapping the side tabs and a clip off both sides during the install. My advice is to remove the whole fog light housing (again not all that easy) to install them. Don't believe the "just unplug the factory lights and plug the new ones in". As that statement might be true, getting to the factory lights is what is so hard.

Now...once I had them installed they seem to be okay especially if you have the factory 4300k Halo lights. They should match up almost perfectly. I have some 6000k lights which are just slightly blue and you can definatley see a differnce of how white the 5202 are compared to my 6000k lights.

BfXenon makes an actual HID setup with ballasts and all. For a factory setup I would probably just use the 5202. Any other color I would use BfXenon's HID setup to make the lights match.


BTW: they are probably a different part number since you have the RS pkg. I do not the RS Pkg on mine.

The 5202 is a little different color than the P13w.

Thanks for the inputs! My OCD will be much better after I decide which to go with and get them installed.

you can go to napa and get these light plugs and splice them in to your side markers then order the license plate white led bulbs from aacstyle.com which or cheaper than there drl replacements and plug them in the plugs they fit rather snug in the hole but you can figure a way with a small zip tie to hold them in better then the drl's will be the same color as your hid's and they will come on with your running lights.
