fog light bulbs

I am looking for a yell0w H3 bulb for my fog lights. Is this any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33710

its 70W, will that melt anything cause I thought the stock is 55W?
Thanks

The "yellowest" fog bulbs are the Narva (aka "candlepower") Gold. I've tried pretty much all of them (although now I have yellow Lexus-style covers with regular bulbs, which are even yellower). Not sure about these ebay ones, but of the ones I've tried, the Narva/CPs are the best, and the PIAA crystal ion are the worst.....

The picture they show is not an H3 bulb. Buyer beware. They may claim 70W but the bulb will only do 55W.

www.danielsternlighting is the only place I know of to get the Narva/Candlepowers (they are 55W).

if you are interested in the "lexus yellow" check out my homepage there's a how-to...you can get the yellow capsules from www.HIDtech.com

Here are some samples:
This is with the PIAA bulbs AND yellow Lamin-x lens covers


The Narvas were somewhat yellower (no pics, sorry)

Here is with the yellow capsules and my OEM fog light bulbs (Lamin-x removed)..it's a little bit deeper yellow in person.

Thanks again for all the info...I think ill go with the yellow/gold Narva bulbs for now. Replacing with yellow capsules seems a bit complicated.
