Driver side fog light bulb is out thinking about replacing both sides with a brighter bulb any ideas on what kind and the size I would need?

 

you should go with the HID kit. you would need the h3 bulb

 

BrainDfect doesn't the HID kit come with a bulb?
Have you done this on your MAX?

 

Yellow lights are good! the match the color of Dosa

 

Sylvania make the silverstar. I replaced the fog lights on my car with them and there is a noticable difference in the whiteness/brightness. The silverstars burn at approx. 4000 degrees kelvin and regular halogen in the range of 2800 - 3200 kelvin. I don't have the box anymore but I think the model number was H3T and they should cost about $15-$20 each. Just be careful not to touch the bulb cause it can cause a shorter life span or the bulb may even crack....

 

silverstars if you want cheap good replacements, HIDs if you wanna be ballin! lol, just remember to not touch the bulb, if you do, rubbing alcohol and lint free cloth (maybe a different cloth?).

 

My went out too. Anyone know what is the temperature of stock HIDs?

 

If you already have HID, doing HID in the fogs, besides being a complete PITA is overkill IMO....In my experience every aftermarket colored H3 burned out in a month and I went back to stock cuz im sick of taking apart theintake to get at the bulb.

 

Mine went out to. Can someone pleaseeee put together a detailed instruction sheet the steps we need to do in order to access the fog bulbs to replace them? I know we need to remove the fluid resevoir and air filter housing but could someone clarify how to do this? I dont want to do it wrong or put it back together wrong....

 

What aftermarket HIDs are recomended for the fogs, and I belived the stock headlights are 3800K is that correct?

 

Stock HID is 4300k. I replaced my fogs with a 6000k H3C HID kit. Looks fantastic.

How much ****? and where?

 

Got my kit in the CoWay group buy. There are a couple group buys going on for HID kits in that section.

 

I too just noticed that my driver side light is out. 9 months 20k miles and it is gone. I am looking in to alternate bulbs. The OEM do not do much. I only use them to make the zenon headlamps less harsh.

 

i agree you should get a hid kit for a h3 bulb, or superwhite

 

and you do know you have to take the whole headlight out to change the foglight bulb

 

WTF, You serious?

 

I call BS on this from personal experience. I replaced my fog bulbs without pulling the assembly. It's a tight squeeze, but do-able. You will likely have to remove the intake pieces at the drivers side, and the side cover and washer fluid filler tube on the passengers side to get access.

Certainly to install HID's you should remove the bumper and headlight assembly to install the ballasts in a good protected location.

 

in my exprerience the Silverstar H3 burn out pretty quickly, I had them in the fogs of my '99 SE and they didn't last long.

 

No you dont
