X54TH · 01-20-2018, 07:53 PM

Looking to replace the OEM Fog Light bulb. Is it an H8 or H11 bulb?

Looks like it's an H8 35 watt bulb.

No, the bulbs work fine. I just wanted to change colour of the bulb to better match the headlights. I'll probably replace them with something like a super white. I find the OEM ones yellow. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Epistar and Cree both make H8 Bright white LED replacements.

I have the Phlips led fog lights, they are working great - nice white color and not glaring others.
But they need coding and if you are sensitive to flicker, code the pwm off
