Hi Guys,

I've fitted xenon bulbs instead of the normal ones in my fog lights and are much brighter, just remember to get the H3 ones. You can get a full set off ebay for about £18 (that includes the H1's for the main headlights).

This may sound weird, but how do you change the H3 bulbs if the fogs are fitted into the lower valance of an m-tec 2 kit? Can i change them without jacking the car up? or do i need to get underneath the car?

thanks.

This thread is so council. If you have HID's you'd never need fog lights for their intended purpose. Or is it part of the cruise look? :eek:
