Upgrading Fog Lights
Hey guys,
So I was looking at my car today and noticed that my headlights and eye lid lights are the blue'ish tone but my fog lights are still the normal bulb "color". What have you guys used to replace your fog lights with something that matchs better. Perferably something cheap and that will last a while.
Also, how hard is it to change the fog lights themselves?
Thank you,

I want to upgrade mine too. I thought of the Morimoto 5000K fog light HID kit from AznOptics but Mike said he will have the fog light LED soon so I will wait for a bit more. Maybe Philips H7/H11 will be a good option too.
Last time I took the front lower grill out to wrap the fog chrome trim, I was able to access the fog light housing. My guess is swapping out would be easy if you want to go with halogen, not installing a full HID kit. For HID kit you might need to open wheel well to do wiring.

I run 3000k bulbs, had HID's before but swapped back to Halogen bulbs. Nothing wrong with HID's but halogen is easier to replace and work with in that small space without using a ramp.

I have stock H7 halogens.
Here is the amazon link to the exact ones I purchased:
I'd be careful though, the first set had a scratch that altered light projection, and the replacement set has minor scratches on the bulb coating. Either they were damaged to begin with or through transportation. The replacements work well and were fairly easy to acquire.
