i am using polarg pure yellow 3000K H3 for fogs they are bright and yellow comparing to any other brand. polarg is a good japanesse brand. i just bought LED 1156 red for turn signals they are nice and bright. and i also got 194 LED for sidemarkers they are brighter than stock bulbs. i would say go for LED if you do want some great lighting.

Do you have HID's if so Polargs are junk and will look greenish compared to the HID's. I got some LED's for my bumper lights and corner lights and it matches awesome!!!

I have polargs in my sidemarkers and corner lights. When I put in the r34 headlights they really killed the color and light output of the corner lights so i'll either go with led's to go with the hid's or just throw in amber bulbs.

i only got polarg fog light bulbs and so far they are giving great light output and has not dimmed yet. i wouldnt use polarg brand for sidemarkers or for corner lights. LED is the great choice for that!

I think that yellow fogs look good with any color headlight bulb.

I assume the the led bulbs they sell are the ones that light up the whole housing . I had bought a set of 194 led bulbs in the past and they only lit up a small spot but the ones at this ebay store look like they light up the whole housing
