H3 on a 430 is correct. You would need an H1 if it was a 320. Make sure you do NOT exceed the OEM wattage on the foglight as you WILL crack the reflector and have bulbs go out very quickly.

I believe fogs are 55 watts. Don't go over that.

Those are 55 watt bulbs. 55=85 is marketing-speak to imply that these 55 watt bulbs output the light equivalent to an 85 watt bulb.

I think Josh has done a lot of experimenting with the bulbs and could recommend some good ones?

To be honest, the best bulbs for the money I've found have consistantly been made by mtech. I currently have a set of mtech Ion Crystal Yellow bulbs in my Angel Eye foglights on the Carlsson kit that I pulled out of my OEM AMG foglight assemblies. The light output is nice, the bulbs have lasted me quite a while and they were much less expensive than comparable PIAAs or similar bulbs. They're middle of the road when it comes to price (not cheap POS's like Nokya and the like, and not super expensive like Catz or Piaa). They also come in other colors (such as superwhite) if yellow foglights aren't your cup of tea.
