I have a broken fog light that I'm repairing tomorrow and I'm thinking about replacing the bulbs while I'm doing the work.

I have a pair of new silvania silverstar headlights that I bought before I started reading the forum. I'm probably going to switch the the Phillips Blue Visions when these burn out.

My big concern is more light output. We have a lot of snow and unlit highways out here in Colorado, so I'd like something that really illuminates the road in poor weather conditions.

Any thoughts?

 

My APC Gold Ion H3 bulbs work well for me. Also the Wagner Lazer Blues are nice, but arnt an all weather bulb. You should get some yellowish bulbs.

if you have silvania silverstar headlights I would not get anything blue or hyper white. Because they wont match. I recently tried silvania silverstar headlights and I did not like them. I returned them. They were way too dull and looked like the normal headlight on my older maxima. (i pulled them face to face and compared)

I am concerned about the color of the foglights matching the color of the headlights. I dont know if you are.

I would suggest getting the hyper white blue looking bulbs from procarparts. I had the foglights in my car and they were nice and bright. The color was just right. The thing i liked the most about these were that the fog and head lights matched. So i would tell ya to go get new headlight and foglight bulbs from procarparts.

PS dont forget to order 2 new headlight harness/sockets and replace those too cause my OEM sockets burned out form using aftermarket bulbs. I would assume yours will too and this might save you some time, trouble and burned out bulbs. I purchased my new headlight sockets from Courtesy Nissan [sales@courtesyparts.com]

 

I have HIDs in my main headlights, regular oem 4300K. What fog bulbs can i get to match those best besides another HID kit. I have another OEM hid kit but dont know how to rebase the bulbs and dont know where to buy real HID h3 bulbs.

 

I'm not too concerned about the colors matching. An all weather yellow bulb sounds like the way I want to go.

What did you replace your silverstars with?

 

Maxima10to1 and Max Noob, where did you get your bulbs? How much?

 

Im using the procarparts(pcp) hyper white bulbs in both my headlights and foglights. Im using these bulbs cause they are cheap, they match and have the bright blue look i like. I had a few ppl compare the silverstar with the pcp bulbs and they all said they liked the blue and that the silverstar looked normal.

Your probably looking to get what Max Noob is recommending.

they look cool on his car.

click on halogen, then h3 type.. under gold..

if you want to overwatt it..the narva's are 85w, the candle power are 55w(playing it safe) the phillips.. i dont know..but probably 55 too..

narva, and candlepower are both made by phillips the parent company..so its quality stuff.

 

What's the risk with overwatting the fogs?

 

Over wattage bulbs can melt the wire harness.

I got my bulbs from a local speed shop...Advanced Auto sells them. I paid about $14 for the pair.

And for Max Noob.....what did the Narvas cost? They look nice, but for the money I love my Gold Ions.

 

i paid 35 picked up..the suvligths guy is stationed like 25 mins away from me.

i have had them about a year.. no melted harness.. no cracked lenses.. knock on wood..


i think the fog glass on the 95-96 is better than the 97-99.. alot of people with overwattage fogs have cracked lenses on a 97-99..

 

With an h3 "harness" you don't really need to worry about it melting because its made completly out of metal, unlike our 9004 harness which is mostly plastic with metal prongs.

 

all aftermarket bulbs i've used blew out on me in a week. i stuck w/OEM

 

learned something today..thanks..

off the subject..is the drop resister wired to a switch actaully a performance mod? doesnt it just replace the knock sensor..but then you will be running at the non advanced timing?

 

whats the light difference between the narva and the candlepower h3 bulbs besides wattage? is one more yellower than the other?

 

got no clue man..ive only tried the narvas..im assuming the 55w are less bright and a little less yellow..

I think im gonna get the narvas

 

Hi, im gonna unsubscribe myself from this thread because every 2 minutes i get an update email about something that has nothing to do with my question. So if anyone can answer the question above then please PM me.

 

I can't decide between piaa extreme white and the ion crytal

 

Where can you get the narva's?

 

certified beast- i dont think there are any corner bulbs that are gonna match you well. good job onthe 4300k HID though..thats what its suppose to be. not 6-9k. look for a super white corner bulb where the glass isnt very blue. and cut the nub on the bulb so its always on bright. should match up aiight.

sk24iam- suvlights.com 18 per bulb..

 

This isnt your thread or your original question, its Kyndig's. Start your own......

Cool. In that case, I'm gonna go with the Narva's as well.

I pulled the car into the garage today to start pulling things apart and I realized two things:

1. I should probably wait to install the new fog light until I have the replacement bulbs.

2. Replacing the fog bulbs is a lot different that replacing the headlights. Has anyone seen a how-to? I'm good at following instructions, but I'm new enough that flying solo makes me uncomfortable...

 

Get NAVRA rally gold...have these for about 3 months and they have not blown yet. Plus the lighting on this things kick @ss. Would highly recommend.

Benny, I need to swing by your way someday soon to see them in person.......

 

Bump... Has anyone seen a how-to on replacing fog light bulbs?

Thanks...

 

Its easy man, unscrew the plastic screws and little black cover. Remove the fog light. Pull it out a little, the hard part is getting that metal clip out of its groove. After you do that replace the bulb by putting the metal prongs on the apropriate connector. Put it all back together.

 

Awesome. Thanks!

 

i'm gonna paint my fog's yellow :d
