2005 G55 - Replacement bulbs?
Hey everyone! Posted this in the other thread. Thinking of replacing stock fog light bulbs (yellow light) with something cleaner, blue or white... Any suggestions?
Also, can I do anything to the main lights or DRLs (replace some bulb?) to make them blue or whiter as well? Its a lease, so I do not feel like doing a bi-xenon conversion...
I hope you know what I am asking... I have no clue how to explain it in any different way, lol. I have never shopped for bulbs before...

After 50k miles just replaced the stock H4 bulbs in my G and they appear whiter and brighter.
The more expensive "silverstar" bulbs do not last as long - if it nasty I use my fog lights.

Forgot. In some states/countries yellow foglight bulbs were/are illegal.\
Tip:
I did all my front bulbs (HL, PL, FL) bulbs at once and saved the good ones as spares. The illumination quality did improve with the fresh bulbs.
You might want to consider that. Then you have better light, a mileage baseline and spare bulbs.
