Light bulbs--did we ever...
decide what was the best for the city lights (smaller inboard lamp)?I was thinking the Hoen stuff might be good quality, but did I read somewhere around here that someone had bad experiences? And what is the suggested brand for the foglight replacement bulbs? That's an H1, right? (03 430 Cab). Yes, I have factory xenon headlights. Suggestions? Thanks for your help...

Foglights in a 430 are H3.
I've been using LED citylights and have been happy with the results, but you do have to wire in a resistor or another lamp so that you don't get a bulb out warning.

I was hoping for...
somethin' that was plug and play...I wonder if the Hoen's will do the job? I believe they have something they claim is better/brighter/whiter than the OE, but don't really know...anyone have any experience? Josh, do you have a brand suggestion for the fog lamp bulbs?
Thanks for the help...

Where did you buy the LED citylights? What color are they?
Standard citylights with Xenon headlights look silly I think... And here in Sweden we have to have that combination active all the time. I hate looking silly :-)
