Pre facelift light bulbs questions

Has anyone tried to replace the daylight driving bulbs and the fog lamp bulbs
Any idea what bulbs I should get?
I was thinking it might be cool to match the colour of the eyebrows to the xenon headlights, has anyone tried and which one gives the best match in terms of color?
I am also looking for a yellower fog lamp which ones should I get

I just ordered a set of 3000k HIDs from carlighttrends.com to replace the factory halogens. If your willing to spend a little bit and take the time to retrofit the fog lights I'd say that's the way to go. HIDs will be 10x brighter and look better than the stock halogen bulbs. As far as your eyebrows, I suggest going with AZN Optics 5000k wedge LED bulbs. I just installed them on my pre-facelift this week and they are super white and bright and match the factory HID beams pretty well. Do the amber turn signal LEDs while your at it too. They look sick! Stay away from the higher kelvin HID bulbs or LEDs. Blue lights are hideous. Just my opinion though. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the reply
Yes high K is what I want to stay away from, blue looks hideous as you said
Can you please point me to where to find these lights
What is the amber signal you are talking about
If I cannot match the halogen with the factory xenon I am thinking I will go super yellow, which is still better than the old looking halogen

Thanks!!

To match the xenons go with Philips Diamond Vision in H7 for the fogs and hi beams. AznOptics as mentioned for the eyebrows in 5000K.

Just went to Poped the hood open hoping to get to the eyebrows to see what bulbs it is
Not as easy to get to as I thought
So what I need is T10 LED wedge 5000k from AZN, 4 piece total right?
Assuming I will get the brighter ones

As for turning signal is it 3457 Amber that I should get?

Since I am doing it
What else can I replace, the cabinet dome light? Trunk? What should I get for these


Thanks a lot this is a huge help

I would PM AZN Optics and he will tell you what you need. He has LEDs for the front, all interior and rear of the car.

Sorry to hear that. I have had the same set in the eyebrows for 4 years. Maybe they just are not on much. I also think he has new ones that don't run as hot?
