Never fear, Jedi is here!

Just do what I did.... go to www.hoen-usa.com and order their H11 bulbs, you won't regret it! Oh, and if you replace the foglights, I suggest replacing the round driving lights as well, or the color mismatch will drive you crazy. Here's a picture of my setup.

correct Matt. I rewired my foglights so they can come on WITHOUT the headlights being on. That is what is pictured above. (there's a DIY for that as well)

here you go. Hoen xenonmatch fogs, VLEDS 6 led parking lights and 5 led refractor corners, stock headlights. The parking lights and corners look different in person, they have a bluish tint to them but my cam doesnt capture that for some reason

I removed each tire to change mine. That made it very easy to see everything and install.

Hey Man I was wondering what lights do you have in your round driving/parking lights. The ones that are bluish.

So the bluish lights are the 6 Led(194). But what about in your corners are they the same bulbs?
