Nokya H11 Fog Lights (2500K & 7000K)

I had a hard time choosing which bulb to buy so I bought both types.







This will help those who arent sure which Kelvin to buy. The 7000K set did have a tint of blue and looked nice. However I went with the yellow 2500K bulbs.

The 2500K does look better. You made the right choice. Hows the output?

The yellow 2500K is much brighter than the stock fog lights. The yellow glow is extremely noticable even over my 8000k HID bulbs.

The 7000k fog lights were hardly noticable on the road. There was no point of having the 7000k fog lights on when driving at night.

Looks nice, but I like the white... I think I'll go with a lower Kelvin when I get my 08 bumper on. Good choice though.

At night the matching 7000k fogs look nice too but in the pic the yellow looks better.

I had the same debate but went yellow and couldn't be happier! The yellows bury my 8k's when both are on!

If your looking for light output, why you didn't get HID fogs??? I have 10000k fogs and they're bright as hell...

I upgrade my fogs but went with white, not yellow because all my lights are white now (since I have the switchbacks) and I covered up the yellow sidemarker. So I really don't have any yellow but I am really liking the yellow on your car, probably because of the separation of the fogs from the headlight. My pick - YELLOW.

And are half as bright as stock 4300K.

They're not bright as hell, they're blue as hell...

Thanks KC, your really smart!!.... But I asked, why he didn't get HID!!! With the 10000k part, I was just explaining what I have... I wasn't telling him to get 10000k hid... If he gets 3000k-6000k it will be brighter than any HALOGEN BULB (what he has now)...

And FYI, 10000k HID isn't a blue as you think it is....When I had my Halogen bulbs, they were't as bright as my 10000k HID..

thats an easy question...

HID Kit = $120 - $150

Nokya Bulbs = $20

--------------------------

HID install time = 45min - 60min

Nokya install time = 20min

--------------------------

HID Lifetime > Nokya Lifetime

But I dont drive everyday with my fog lights on.

-------------------------

The Nokya bulbs are bright enough in my opinion. I dont want yellow HID's to drown out my blue haze from my headlights.... i would hate seeing yellow everywhere I go.

I bought into the PIAA craze for my maxima. They look great but cost waaaay too much. I've been running the Nokya's in my pathfinder for a couple years now and absolutely love'em.
