well after maybe about a month or so my tunerzimage fog light bulbs blew (thanks tunerz) so my mechanic got me some nokya bulbs for my fogs. now the bulbs have this blue color around them and i have yellow fogs. so i was skeptical about the outcome of the color being projected through the yellow lense. but heres the outcome. the pics dont really show how different they look. u can see a before shot on my avatar, and this is how they stand now. hella bright for freakin fogs though. get ur shades ready:mcool:

there weird. i think its just the way they are angled. the camera doesnt show the true color of em. i thought they were pretty hella bright when they were on but i guess not. im not really big into the whole bulb HID scense so when i put them on i was like :meek: im easily impressed lol.

ok i went to check out the bulbs up close this is wat i noticed. the driver side is way brighter and the blue around the lense is in nice shape. but on the passenger fog the blue that surrounds the bulb has a bunch of black spots that the driver side doesnt, and it seems to be dimmer than on the driver side. this prolly explains the difference in color.

this thread was created for the bulbs not for the fogs themselves. oem or not.

looks like your mechanic only changed the driver side bulb. I am partial to my factory fogs, and would like to update my bulbs to something a little crisper and cleaner. won't look too bad once the bulb colors match.

na they would never do that. i was in the garage and watched the whole thing. ive been goin to the same place for years, to where i can just hang out in the garage if i wanted to. i was definately there and watched as he went to purchase the bulbs and watched the entire install. they would never cheat me like that. i was literally standing right next to them and watching.

dont get bulbs with any tinting what so ever for your foglights.
light is additive color not subtractive, so adding more filters(things that subtract other wavelengths from your light spectrum) will only make them dimmer
slightly yellow bulbs with a yellow filter inside lenses with a yellow filter wont be any more yellow, they will be the exact same color but dimmer.
blue filters are even worse because now you are attempting to remove everything but blue with the blue filter and everything but yellow with the yellow filter, making less yellow AND less blue light, and less of everything else, its a mess.
get some standard wattage bulbs from walmart or something, sylvania extended life or something.
that will get you the brightest results without using a high wattage bulb.
If you do go high wattage get an uncoated bulb, nokya makes them, you can find them around.
