Foglights?

[EDM95]

I was thinking of installing some yellow 9006 bulbs inplace of the stock foglight bulbs .
Do you think it would be too bright?
I also painted the glass on the fog lights black.

2ga fogs are 9006? Also, the color of the bulb isn't what exactly makes it brighter. Are you saying you smoked your fogs? Like VHT Nightshade?

Stock fogs on a 2gb are like 35w H3's. I installed Piaa Icy Hot 100W H3 Bulbs, they are soo flippin bright.

White h3 12v55w that is the bulb that i will replace.
I will have to retrofit the 9006 bulbs.

Installing a 9006 Bulb isn't going to make the fog brighter, you might actually lose brightness. The bulbs are positioned exactly where they are supposed to be. So I sugjest just installing a 100W H3 bulb, you don't be sorry. The bulbs I used are made for offroad lights, for like search and rescue.

I have the yellow 9006 bulbs already.
I just thought i would install yellow bulbs inplace of the white bulbs.
Also the headlights are very bright already.

Well you could be effecting the beam pattern to a bad extent, meaning possibly puting huge ammounts of glare in people's eyes.

Lol give me the 9006 yellow bulbs... Actually I need 9007 Yellow Bulbs.

i will just have to make a switch that shuts them off when a car is coming towards me

9006 bulbs won't fit in an H3 holder.
H3s are available in 55W, 100W, and 130W. But the wattage of the bulb doesn't make for the illumination: the reflector and lens design do. The "more" of higher wattage isn't much used by the same old reflector.

As for yellow: how much of the time do you spend looking at things through yellow glasses?

"Fog" lights don't really do much for fog. They can help a lot in heavy snow, if you can turn your headlights off. The best utility of fog lights is as cornering help, especially to pick up the eyes of guerrilla deer lurking in the bushes in that next corner.

As for painting the lens of any light, no, that's not too bright.

It is about that time of year when it starts snowing.
So they should come in handy but i guess we will see.
I installed them just waiting till night fall to see how they will look.

The beam patern what comes in handy when it comes to snow and fog, Not the brightness. And your going to mutilate the beam patern by doing the swap to a 9006. Throw those bulbs in your low beams. Get some Nice H3 bulbs for the fogs. You really do not want to screw with the bulbs.

I got them projector halo headlights so i dont think they use 9006 bulbs.
I am not sure what bulb they use. But when i had the stock headlights i had the 9006 bulbs on and i got pulled over got a ticket for haveing yellow headlights.
I was like i thought these were legal and he is like you can only have them yellow fog lights and i was like oh i thought it was the other way around.
How ever i did get out of that ticket.

Same goes for the fog lights. I'm not trying to bust your chops or anything, I'm just telling you it isn't going to work, you'll get a bright glow out of it I'm sure, and you might get a perfect beam patern, but its highly unlikely, the length of the bulbs are different.

Your headlights use a H1.

Try this, take your stock headlights, plug up the bulbs and move the bulbs in and out and watch the beam pattern disenigrate.
