Better 2009 G55 Fog Lamp Replacement Bulbs????
Has anyone changed the standard 2009 G55 fog lamp bulbs to something better/brighter (or even amber) after-market? If so, what's good and where can I buy them?
Thanks!

G55
From checking photo of 2009 G55s it looks like the 09 fogs might be the same fitting as the ones in the 07. If they are there a few options I personally tried with my 2007 G55. I have used both 35Watt Phillips HIDs and 55W no-name HIDs as well as various H9 and H11 ( with a bit of cutting)
The HIDs were ultra bright...blinding like **** - I felt it was a bit too bright - also the feature to light up in turns is not a good combo for HIDs I think. The constant on - off might not be good for the HID ballasts.
I ended up sticking with the brightest H11s I could find ( sorry don't remember brand etc.) which was only a minor improvement over stock lamps, maybe 25% brighter - however threw a nice homogenous light compared to the blinding HIDs
