hey SC-ed: What do you think of these from autolumination?



http://autolumination.com/194.htm They're supposed to be some of the whitest, brightest, and widest bulbs they've ever made. I have them in my puddle lights now and they're pretty nice....

I went with SC-ed's suggestion and had the dealership install them cause I didn't want to mess with the job. Dealership charged me 30 bucks to put in the new bulbs.........

I'm very happy............

Swerver, grats!

It's super easy to install these bulbs though! Instead of removing the front bumper (like lots of people do) I just removed the plastic covers inside the wheel well. Great access to the lights from there.

Are the driving lights and bright lights brighter on the road at night than the originals? My stock driving lights don't add much - of course the xenon lights already give much better light than my other cars.

these bulbs had been out of stock for a while but Hoen seems to have them back on their website.

Just an FYI.

Which bulbs are best for fog?

I plan on doing the fog light mod so I can run the fog lights—without headlights—in a dense fog. Are the stock fog light bulbs good for this? Too dim? Is there some other bulb that's better for fog only? (Just to be clear, I WON'T be using the fog lights as running lights or as daytime running lights—just for thick, pea soup fog, as the automobile gods originally intended.)

How easy is it to install the fogs yourself? *goes to search for a DIY*

SUPER easy! Just go in through the wheel wells. Remove the plastic cover in there (just held by those darn plastic pieces) and you can reach the fog bulbs from there.


New Yorker: No clue on that one as I don't get a whole lot of fog where I live, sorry.
