i have a 2k maxima with hid conversion kit in my headlights now im tryin to find what bulbs would match best to the hid..........i would purchase another conversion kit and just make my fogs hid also, but its to expensive....so id like to know what would be the best set of bulbs to purchase that would mathc the col,or and brightness of my headlights?

 

no hallogen bulb is going to be able to produced the same color and brightness of HID. Save up some money then get conversion kit for your fogs ^__~

 

as long as its brighter than the stock fogs, and it doesnt make that much of a diffewrnce appearance look between the fogs sand my hid converted headlights........ id like to see what the brightest bulbs the org has used for there fogs

 

i tried a ton of bulbs finally gave in to an HID kit

 

A blue tinted bulb and brightest are oxymorons. Just keep it stock if you want "bright" fog lights.

 

can you guys chime in with the hid kits in fogs? i think umnitza had one, and maybe some other vendor. anyone here with hid fog kit have anything good to say about their particular setup?

 

Mini-H3 in 6,000K from maximabest FTW! He ships overnight from Taiwan, direct from factory. I've personally had a bad experience with Umintza.

 

i used XBrite i got 6k in the head lights and 10k in the fogs

 

are the 10ks even useful by themselves? can you see anything at dusk, w/o the headlights?

 

I got the xbrite 3k fogs. Nice yellow.
Also what are you running in your headlight? That may help to see whay kit to get.

 

sorry to hijack the thread but i am lookin to get fog lights for my I35. I dont need HIDs I just want a bright bulb that gets rid of the yellow color of the stock bulb. White or blue/white to match the HID headlights would be good. I'm also lookin for blue/white high beam bulbs so my high beams dont look yellow

also affordable would be nice too

Hey guys,

I think for the best match in halogen H3s, you have to go with a PIAA SuperPlasma bulb. I'm not even sure if they still make the regular SuperPlasma (becuase now I see a lot of SuperPlasma GTX which is more blue IIRC), but if you can find them, they'll probably be around $50 for the pair. Try eBay first.

Also, I had these bulbs for a while and thought the color matched pretty well, the only problem was I got a crack down the center of one fog, and after several months, moisture got in and burnt out the bulb. There's been an ongoing debate on the org over whether the SuperPlasma bulbs are actually the cause of the cracked fog lights because apparently they get very hot, but only one of mine cracked, so I don't think that's the case.

Personally, I'm tired of having foglights that do NOTHING in terms of light output. They look nice to other drivers, but the halogen bulbs just don't put out enough light. So I've been thinking of doing the HID conversion. I've read the Umnitza kit costs around $250. It's steep, but if the fogs actually put out some light, I'll be happy.

 

fogs are not meant to replace headlights!!! they work well in the dusk, when you do not need the amount of light, or distance your headlights provide. when it gets dark, my foglights light up the road right in front, and to the sides of my car. i think they help a little bit, to light up more of the road.
there is a group deal in the GD forum for hid fogs from Maximabest. i have heard great responses about him from several .org members.

 

Just two quick questions:
1. I have an 03 max and I wanted to know what's the best thing to do with the fog lights so that they match the headlights. If its bulbs, which ones? If its an hid kit which output should I get and what are some good websites to look at them.

2. Also, how do you make just your fog lights come at dusk? I'm pretty sure mine only come when the headlights are on.

Thanks a lot for the help.
