View Full Version : What Fog Light bulbs are you running? ibis 07-07-2003, 03:26 PM After about 3 years of constantly running all my lights on all the time, one of my fogs burnt out. I was curious on who is running what bulds in the stock fog lights. I was thinking the Yellow Stars but I really havent looked into it fully. Thanks for the help. justin (ibis) www.team-arg.com JewPac42 07-07-2003, 03:31 PM I had some PIAA super plasmas in for a while, when one went out I out in 100 watt bulbs. I was told they were to bright and would brown the lens, s I went to Sylvania, pretty sure they are OEM but not positive, only cuz I didnt have 70 bux to waste in a set of lights. svxr8dr 07-07-2003, 05:36 PM I'm running stock wattage Hella Yellowstars and I'm pretty happy with them. Had them for about 6 months now and no issues. They are definitely yellow Subie Gal 07-07-2003, 07:47 PM CATZ 80/100-watt High Output Clear Halogen H4 Bulb http://www.subiegal.com/IMAGES/Car%20Stuff/RS/headlights.jpg Jamie www.subiegalracing.com www.subiegal.com JewPac42 07-07-2003, 07:57 PM Originally posted by Subie Gal CATZ 80/100-watt High Output Clear Halogen H4 Bulb http://www.subiegal.com/IMAGES/Car%20Stuff/RS/headlights.jpg Jamie www.subiegalracing.com www.subiegal.com Have you had a problem with browning of the lenses? Bill or Chris or someone at I-speed told me that a 100 watt bulb would brown the lens if I used it all the time. Subie Gal 07-07-2003, 08:18 PM oh hell... the H4's are 100/80 i had 100 PIAA's (H3's) in the fogs... and the bulbs burnt up really quickly. what a waste of money... i would advise sylvania's or hellas... quality is better... i'm currently running Hellas but cant remember the wattage Jamie JewPac42 07-07-2003, 08:23 PM Originally posted by Subie Gal oh hell... the H4's are 100/80 i had 100 PIAA's (H3's) in the fogs... and the bulbs burnt up really quickly. what a waste of money... i would advise sylvania's or hellas... quality is better... i'm currently running Hellas but cant remember the wattage Jamie Im running Sylvanias right now, but Im looking for something a little brighter. I still have the 100 watt bulbs (I took them out following the advice from i-speed) but dont want to ruin the lenses by putting them back in if infact they do brown from to high a wattage. mprez my wgn 11-15-2003, 12:09 AM Which bulbs are better for the fogs, H4's or H3's?:confused: Paul Sakai 11-15-2003, 03:32 AM Originally posted by mprez my wgn Which bulbs are better for the fogs, H4's or H3's?:confused: And for actual fog use? NimrodBoz 11-15-2003, 05:54 PM you could always go with new lights altogether and void the browning problem. i think ive seeen an impreza or two with hella 500's in the fog sockets. mprez my wgn 11-15-2003, 06:01 PM How would the hella's fit in the fog sockets? The hella's are round and the socket is rectanguler. NimrodBoz 11-15-2003, 06:09 PM look at the stock lights. those are also round. mykrrrr 11-16-2003, 09:21 AM I was running 100w Sylvania's and the reflector over the bulb itself (not sure if that's the correct term for the part) browned on both lights. I replaced them w/55w Sylvania's and they're fine now. I've had everythin from OEM style to PIAA Super Whites and I'm sticking w/OEM style. You can fit Hella 500's in the OEM area. You'll need some sort of adapter like what Kartboy sells to fit them properly though. I don't think you'll be able to run STi V5/6 fog covers w/the 500's IIRC. -mykr. |
