Foglight- H3-Special

pc080189 · Apr 6th, 2003, 11:01 AM

Hi guys, in the owners manual, it says for my 99 Sentra SE-L that the foglights take an H3-Special. Can I still just drop in a regular H3 in there?

My ride is a sentra 99 gxe and I use regular H3
Piaa is not special right?

Thanks guys, seems a regular H3 is fine.
I don't trust the owners manual after it told me I have 9004 lights when in reality the 99 Sentras have 9007.

the h3 special is 35 watts, and the regular ones have 55watts, a slight 20 watt increase, no biggie, just that the bulb glass is slightly bigger and the regulars from piaa are way brighter....

and also, the 9004 headlight bulb spec is for the non-clear headlights, but for '98 200sx's and '99 sentras with the same clear headlights, require the 9007 bulbs, so that is just a slight typo, and that's why there are forums like these.....
