Hi,

My HID headlamps are great but now my side light and fogs looks silly and yellow in comparison. Is there a simple upgrade for them?

yeah, don't use your fogs!

There was a thread about the sidelights a good while ago... have a search. But it depends on what HID colour temperature you went for....

What about some nice Led bulbs?

H11's ??

You need another hid h1 kit for the fogs, if you really want them the same. Personally I don't care as the fogs are never needed.

H1's do not go in fogs either. Make that H3 and you'll be rockin.

[non ellipsoidal]
Dipped beam = H4
Main beam = H1

[Ellipsoidal]
Dipped beam = H1
Main beam = H1

All S2's, Fogs = H3.

6000k H1 HID kit on dipped beam, 6000k H3 HID kit in fogs, 5 x LED tower bulbs in sidelights (tower bulbs from powerleds.co.uk).

If you want the same colour fogs as the headlamps with HID's, then get HID's for the foglamps. Nothing else comes close, even when the seller states the halogen bulbs are filled with rare Element 115, unobtainium and 1000grams of zenon gas.

Thanks Jas,

They look superb when fitted.... Will have to review what i've ordered and get some others.... Pisssssh...

I am positive my fogs are H1...

H3 have a lead coming off them...

I think I am going to have to go and look at them. I still don't see the need for making the fogs look the same though! It really ****es me off seeing folk driving about with them on all the time!

Any i have seen are H3, though i think the only difference is the lead, i.e. you could probably use H1 bulbs and make a short cable.
