Recommendations on Foglight Bulbs?

I'm in need of new foglight bulbs and would appreciate any recommendations. How about PIAA Xtreme White Plus H3 $64 for two or PIaa Star white H3 for 40 for two?

Unless you're going for some special look, just stick with something like Hella Xenon. Even Silverstars would be better.

If you're looking to compliment your current headlights with MORE light then those FCS mentioned would be okay.

For a more practical use when driving through fog or in a snow storm, having a bulb that gives off a slight amber hue will do a better job for visibility and reduce glare back vs the super white xenon halogen styles. A standard Hella H3 will be fine. If you can find them locally, chances are you'd have to order them in, Philips WeatherVision also known as AllWeather would be a good choice.

I think Hella makes yellow H3s. I like contrast, so the yellow will not only look cool, but they will actually help in fog.

PIAA would be nice, I have the X treme Whites in my car...but if you arent using PIAA headlights, well then your fogs are gonna be brighter than your heads.

Yes, they make them, and yes, they help in those situations.

Wait, you have real Xenon HID fogs and normal halogen lights? Or are they just the "Xenon gas bulbs"...if so you are probably going to melt your wires.

he's talking about blue tinted glass bulbs or silver stars. Me on the other case I have retrofitted HID's in my 87 300ZXT and they work great. Besides in fog. They suck. (6000K kit)
