I thought about trying something new when I replaced my foglights a few days ago so I unclipped the plastic housing and removed the yellow case housing or casing that makes the foglights yellow and love how much brighter and visible the view was with a bright white bulb. After driving the car home after work I noticed that the housing for those lights were very very hot and knowing that that can melt the plastic housing eventually I haven't used the lights since. I wanted to know are there H3 style foglight bulbs out there that are low temp? I mean the lighting was a very big improvement.

Are they standard 55w bulbs? I'd guess you probably won't find much cooler bulbs unless you go to a lower wattage or go the HID route.

so thjose 35 watt bulbs? I guess I'll give them a try!!!

Your output may not be too fantastic at that wattage, but I guess having the shroud removed may mitigate it.

Who knows :P

Can you do a side by side comparison shot when you install the 35w bulb in the one housing? Be interesting to see just for info's sake.

is there a such thing as a best 35watt bulb for these? I just started paying attentions to bulbs so I have no idea

No idea. My experience is basically OEM Osram bulbs vs Silverstars vs (soon MTECs). So far, the Silverstars are a fair bit brighter than the OEM Osram bulbs (not just color temp), and apparently the MTECs beat out the Silverstars by a bit. Anyway, AFAIK Silverstars and MTECs are 55w or above only :\
