Hi boys, I just got my car back from the body shop this past Friday getting the front bumper replaced as I was involved in a minor collision over the winter. When night fell, I turned on my fogs or driving lights, whichever you call them and they didn't work....I checked the fuses and relays which were all functional. I then resorted to pulling the lights out from the bumper, ( what a P.I.T.A. ). I found both bulbs were broken, not blown. So the s.o.b's at the body shop must have broken the bulbs repairing the front end.... Long story short, they were Piaa bulbs at $60.a pair and after getting my car back don't really have nor feel like throwing down another $60 for a new pair. I went to Walmart and picked up 2 Sylvania H3 55w bulbs and threw them in at $5. a piece. I don't know how long they'll last before I'm pulling them out and replacing the bulbs again. Does anyone know a good inexpensive bulb that's both bright and inexpensive? I was thinking about maybe a yellow bulb for looks only....
Thanks for any links or feedback....

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, what does JDM mean? I started a part-time job at a grocery store and they see my Max in the parking lot and all the teenagers that work at the checkout dept all say when I walk in, " JDM!!!" ......

You could do the yellow overlays if you want the yellow look.

I just use the $10 100w fog bulbs from Advance, bright enough for me.

And

JDM== Japanese Domestic Market.

Haha, thanks for the reply....does the harness allow the 100w bulbs without burning them out? and what does Japanese Domestic Market mean?? Btw, love the little yellow face shaking his head....

It's been fine for me so far, I'm not too worried about it.

Here, do a little reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Domestic_Market
