What Bulbs to get?

Post by Minda » Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:48 pm

Hi after much thinking i have decided to change the bulbs on the fog lights i would like to go for some that would better suit the car and complement the headlights, it a H11 type fitting any recommendation would be welcome, although i don't want to go down the route of a aftermarket hid kit.

Would these be any good?

Why do you want to change the bulbs of lights that you would (read that should ) never be using?

I'm wondering the same thing? Who is going to see how complimentary your foglights are to your headlights when it is foggy?

I bet it looks great in Asda car park late on a Saturday night now

Please don't tell me you drive around with your front fogs on

When are you fitting the neons?

Number plate lights now done to, although taking a pic with blanking the plate proved a bit more difficult.
Any way i opted to change just the bulbs to these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 179wt_1139
work very well and look fab, not too bright, like some after market setups, over all i'm :D

No thanks, :rofl: think i'll leave that to the younger lot, but i may do the to in the upper part of the tailgate as having them brighter could be quite useful for loading/unloading at night.
