one of my fog lights just died and i'm wondering if i could replace them with brighter ones. what type of bulb do they use and what are some good brands? i'm probably going to go with silverstars for the headlights.

Welcome to Club Lexus. If you go to the "Lighting" forum and perform a search, you will find some really good information and other people's opinions on lighting including "how to". Then you can decide what's best for you

Leets

PIAAs... not Silverstars.

I like the clean look and intensity of Sylvania's high-end bulbs, but after going through several sets of them I couldn't, in all honesty, recommend paying full price for them. If you can get them at 50% off retail then they're a great choice. I loved the way they looked, but they all only lasted me a few months. Rather than spend $30-$40 every 4 months, I'd rather spend $80 every 1.5-2 years. Just my recommendation.

FUll out HID's, or do an HIR swap from that guy selling them for $70 a pair.
HIR's stomp the pee out of silverstar/piaa's.
I did a post within the last two months that had a guy's charts on light output. The $7 sylvania bulb trounced everything but HIR's, which dominated everything by a wide margin.


I say $7 sylvania 9005 conversion, or spend $70 to get HIR's in there, or spend your $350 for a good HID kit + any modification it takes to get them to an OEM standard.

ChirsES, here is a thread on LOC that I posted some pics of PIAA Ion Crystals and Xtreme White fog bulbs. It may help you if you opt for just a simple bulb replacement.
