you know, if you showed a little respect when you asked your question then I really wouldn't have "bitten off your head." but you chose to start your first post by making some smartass comment about the "fighting" and then in your response which was a backhanded thank you to answering your question you told me to calm it down. and even now you're still talking trash, e.g. "little debate." so maybe you should be taking your own advice in this situation.

and yeah, you definitely should look into the book that ryan posted...

let me jump in here for a bit:

the license plate bulbs on my car are oem (car is still stock). they must be going out to be giving me error messages more frequently now. at least thats my guess.

phil, for a moment i thought the hoen endurance fogs were on your w203. i guess too much forum reading made me mix up the info. thanks for the pic of the M3. such a sweet car. still like my w203 though.
i'll do some picture comparisons to see if i want yellow fogs or stick with white. piaa vs nokya vs hoen vs ....sylvannia. hmmmmm.....

Look at the pics a few of us took at a school parking lot. I have yellow fogs on my car, even though I don't have OEM fogs anymore.

I don't have Nokya's anymore. I have MTEC Ion Yellow halogen bulbs, since I have quad fogs now and the fogs are made by hella, they are all H7 bulbs.

Hoen's are still going strong and look much better than OEM.

Thanks, they look just like the stock bulbs except with a blue tint to it so in the end it looks like a white light instead of the yellow stock.

I was thinking the same thing!

alright, someone has to try this! I've tried my fair share, I know Eric has as well, now someone else should be the guinea pig for this one!
