Can anyone help?? Lookin for a very bright fog lite bulb. About to buy PIAA Extreme white and PIAA Super plasma GT-X, company says both are bright but the Plasma is bluish purple. Gonna see which one I like better. Bought some LEDs...pretty but they were not bright at all!! Sucked!! Don't want any HIDs.

How bright are you expecting to get with standard halogen bulbs? If you want super bright hids is the way to go, but you still wouldn't be happy because the factory 4th gen fog lights have a horrible beam pattern.

 

Well I bought some H3s from pepboys last month, they were bright. I was hoping the LEDs were goin to be brighter...not. The PIAAs sound good. Plasma is 5000 and xtreme white is 4400. Also gonna try link that Bronxbomber suggested.

 

How bout the Sylvania ZXEs...anyone??

 

Yeah, but you can always retrofit projectors in them too.

 

Projectors in the fogs??

 

Yup

 

Any bulb with a coating (think filter) on it will reduce the actual lumens (light output) of the bulb. They only give you some color. Stick with a standard H3 and be done with it or do a retro to HID or replace the whole assembly with an aftermarket unit.

Now where's that horse or has he been beaten to death already?

 

 

Imma try the retros also. wth.

 

did someone say projectors in fogs?

 

^^ Now those are bright obviously because its HIDs but which bulb did you get for it to be that yellow??

 

Nope no hids. Regular h3 bulbs in lexus es300 fog projectors. I wish I had hids in there tho.

 

The lexus projectors are already yellow.

 

^^ I also have projectos in my fog lights and they are bright!! No hid in mine either and I love them!

 

I guess u can tell on this pic...

 

Heres my output at night and yea I had adjusted them by now ;-)

 

Am I the only one with ES300s and HIDs? lol

 

Ill have hids once the wife gets back to work, gotta get me them h3c's.

 

Pics or bs haha

 

I guess I could grab a pic lol But yeah 35W 3000K H3C. I'm upgrading to Morimoto H1s soon.

 

I just received the pair I ordered. These lamps require some slight modifications to the lamp assemblies. The lamp is too long, and they hit the metal piece inside the lamp assemblies. Nothing a drill did not fix.
