Does anyone know of a good brand of fog light bulbs with a good lifespan. The last two pairs of bought (sylvania and hella) burned out within a few months. Is it normal for fogs to out that quick? I dont even keep them on all the time.

 

I had the Sylvania's in my LS400 as regular headlights but they did not last at all. I actually thought that Sylvania was a good brand but I guess not.

 

I had sylvanias in my headlights before I went HID and they did fine but it seems like my fogs just burn a lot quicker than they should.

Can anyone tell me if fogs always have a shorter lifespan?

 

They shouldn't what size is your bulb. I would try using HIR bulbs

 

Theyre H3 but I dont really want to spend too much money on an HID kit

 

HIR is not HID.

 

whats HIR? I havent heard of it before

 

My PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow fogs have lasted for months, and my fogs are always on when I drive.

 

PIAAs and nokyas have always been great for me. 2+ years

 

Guess Ill have to look into those two

 

try PIAA and Philips but make sure you get the same wattage bulbs as stocks

any higher one will burn out prematurely

should seriously invest in some HID FOGs and get it over with or LED fogs for that matter

 

how bright are the PIAA bulbs compared to HID kit for fogs?

I kinda want a HID kit for fogs, but bulbs are way cheaper =\

 

Anyone know a company that sells H3 leds in yellow? All I found on fleabay is white

 

normal halogens run about 1000-1200 lumens, but all these aftermarket bulbs are just tinted glass, so you will get much less than that

if you get 4300k HID, it'll be around 3200-3400 lumens and 6000k will be at 2800 lumens

 

HID will outlast halogen bulbs as HID bulbs do not have a filament meaning that the bulb will not be susceptible to road vibrations. Usually these vibrations are what cause a halogen bulb to burn out.
