Fog lights/headlights

[benedetto311]

My fog lights and headlights are about as bright as a cigar cherry, any favorites from the long time VXers? Also so I need to remove the front bumper to change these things?

The small fog lights can be removed with the bumper untouched,if you can get your arm thru the engine bay all the way.

A lot of people run Malibu 18 watt bulbs from Home Depot, Lowes or somewhere similar in their fog lights. They are brighter than stock and cheap and easy to get. Some people have used LED setups, but rumor has it they aren't that bright. I also know if you do a search you'll find something on some direct fit fog lights that actually use a glass lens intead of our current plastic setup. That setup also uses more powerful bulbs. For headlights you are looking at sylvania silverstars the bulb type is H4. The better option is dual beam HID lights also H4 bulb type which you can snag off of ebay for a good price.

im running silverstar headlights and piaa W2 bulbs in the fog light spot.. they match a nice white color and are pretty bright.. the silverstars do burn out kind of quickly though (about a year)

Tone sells HID kits from his site...
Also, search for Ryans (little beast) write up on hi-lo HID's, he's had some very high praise for the company he bought his from...(Xenonrider, IIRC)

I've had the same experience with Silverstars, pre HID, ...

i took my bumper off and changed my fogs to piaa x1100 (if i remember right)...if you want a write up i know there was one done by someone on how to build brackets from cheap parts from home depot (thats what i did, it was cheap and easy)....

tone sells a great HID kit for our VX and its nice to have him around to ask questions and if you have any issues i know he is great on getting you the right stuff to make it work...

i personally bought my HID's from--->>>
