h3 55w fog lamps

[Francesco Rizzo]

my fog lamps are screaming, "I'm melting! oh, what a world. what a world..." bad idea.. no one try and use 55 watt bulbs, I repeat, no one try and use 55 watt bulbs in their stock fog lamps- it is not good! The heat will destroy them. They were actually looking brighter than my headlamps.. but now the black/amber plastic lense does not permit much of the brilliant light to be emitted. I will be research replacement's now.

yea they are just bulbs..


i picked mine up at a local speed shop that sells a lot of piaa for i think 15 bucks

they also give your fogs a blueish tint when they are turned off, pretty much pure white when they are lit.. ill take a comparison shot tonight or tomorrow night, i still have my malibus around here somewhere

Those are still 18w right? There is that much considerable difference? How much did you pay? I found a few on ebay in the $20 shipped range.

I myself have had differents styles, now I have a simple Trunk/Dome light bulb. It's good and bright installed 2 months ago and no melting signs yet...I'll keep ya posted...

ok took the photos but they didnt turn out quite as well as i thought they would. The piaas are mainly a color difference over the Piaas, they are much whiter, but both are bright enough that the camera didnt really pick up on the color difference, i do think there is a noticable difference in the brightness.. still not "fog light" quality though
