Dang Stupid Nokya H3s.....
I purchased a set of Artic White Nokya H3 bulbs for my foglights back in October. Well, the damn things just blew out, not just one of them, but both, almost in a 3 day period. Just warning you all to stay away from them. The stock H3s that I had in there lasted over 1.5 years before deciding to kick the bucket.......

Yeah, everyone stay away from those stupid Nokya bulbs....even the 9004's. They will fry your wiring harness. Even if you've had them for months, they will catch up with you and burn your harness. My friend even had them with an upgraded harness. While the harness didnt melt, the bulb still did. They'll evenually self destruct they get so hot.
Quick question....hasnt someone metioned on here before that you can put a 9004 wiring harness from an old Volvo in our cars b/c their wiring harness are beefed up, and it would be like an upgraded harness?

one foglight bulb i can definatly vouch for are the philips allweather H3s. these things are incredible. i've had them for about 2 years and they're still going strong. let me just tell you, if you're looking for white, dont get these. the light is yellow and the lens itself looks slightly more yellow than a halogen bulb. what i'm really looking for are the lexus/infiniti yellow fogs but they use an actual yellow lens/reflector so it appears alot more yellow than the bulb could do on its own (i just love the HID/yellow fog look).
