Question Bi-Xenon Headlamps

Hello All,

Did anyone notice that the Bi-Xenon Headlamps package does not include upgraded fog lamps. The Fog Lamps light up standard, not blue. Are they supposed to be a Xeon or regular lighted lamps? Can anyone comment on this?
I would like to get Xeon Lamps for the fog lights, Is this possible?

Thanks in advance, cjmegha

The fog lamps are halogen. You can get ugly blue tinted faux "Xenon" halogen replacements like you see on riced up Civic's. However true Xenon's require an expensive high voltage transformer setup.

Cjmegha,

Hoen (Hoen USA) makes bulbs that match the color temp of the HIDs. They won't put out the same lumens, but they'll at least match the color.
