I had the 6000k LED Alstars from Amazon for a while but got tired of the moisture issues. I swapped them out this weekend for the Nokya H16 2500k. I like the contrast.
Looks good. I prefer the 6000k color for fogs personally, but like you the ASTAR leds ALLEGEDLY have caused moisture buildup in my fog lamps. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it yet...there are other bulbs out there obviously, but since we need 4 the price will likely get out of hand.

I agree. I like the matching fogs better too but if these keep the moisture out and look better than stock, I'll take it. Yes the 4 bulbs suck! Terrible idea Nissan

After you have had these new bulbs in for a while and have driven in plenty of rain, please post back here if the moisture issue has been resolved. I'm still wondering if some of these fog light housings are defective. I have the JDM Astar lights in mine and haven't noticed any issues except one time right after I changed them and I assumed it was maybe because I had opened them up.
An added advantage of going/staying yellow or yellow-orange with the fog lights is that they help a lot when driving in fog. White lights do not work well in fog.
Ok thanks...I went with Yellow NOKYA H16 35W and looks like they will need a harness. my local place had no clue since it was a 16 they haven't worked on any yet...ill keep searching
No moisture issues with the PIAA's and I've driven the entire winter here in Jersey.
Can you please post a pic of the PIAA Ion Yellow on your car, as well as provide a bit more information about which specific bulb you have? I was just thinking the other day I think I like the yellow light more than white LED or the stock halogen that is currently still on my car.
One last thing, how hard is it to install the fogs? Is the bulb replacement instruction in the owners' manual?
Definitely like the yellow fog lights. Did the same thing on my Camry and ordered some to put on my Maxima last week. Should be getting them in today or tomorrow.

Thank you in advance.
