the fog light bulb size is H11.

There are a few aftermarket ones for sale. I have the Piaa Xtreme White H11.
I havent been able to install them yet but I had Piaa Xtreme White on my previous car and they were really good. All the other brands i found that were selling H11 were pretty cheap and are known to burn out very quickly.

I hop this helps.

There's also a thread on how to install the replacement bulbs in the DIY forum, here.

Careful....

The only H11s on ebay are cheapies......claim 85W, then the small print says "as bright as..."
They are the ones with blue tint in the quartz, so they actually put out LESS light.
I am back to stock!

Anyone use the PIAA one yet?

I just blown my cheapie XD5 superwhite for the fog light. They are not bright but colour matches perfectly with the Xenon. At least they are as bright as the normal one.

I reckon the fog light with 55W is not meant to be illuminating the road but for people to see you in fog.

I put the PIAA Xtreme White H11 in my 8 over the weekend. They match perfectly with the HID. I got them on ebay for 70+12.50(shipping) = $82.50... You can get the cheap $30 bulbs online if you want but they will burn out. As stated in my above post I've had piaas before and they have proven themselves.

Piaa also sells the XTREME FORCE for H11, I havent seen them online but one of the "tuner" shops near my home sells them. They are supposed to be brighter than the Xtreme Whites.

Oh really... the cheapie on mine have just blown...

Damn I order another set thinking that I must have touched the blub when I put it in and that is why they have blown.

Maybe I should invest on the PIAA. Oh well
