what kind of bulbs are in my lights?

I have an 04 AT with the sport package and it has the OEM fog lights. I want to replace the bulbs in them so they are bright white led lights to match my clear corners, but I heard that some fog lights have xenon bulbs which makes it more difficult to change, is this true? I want to order some bulbs from VLEDS but not sure which to order. I looked on the sticky about bulb codes but not sure which lights I have to compare to the list, I guess I want all bright white lights so that would mean replacing the fogs and the smaller yellow headlights/parking lights(not sure of their actual name) I already put in white led in my corners so those are good.

thanks!!

never fear, Jedi is here!

swapping the fog light bulb is fairly straight forward, I recommend using a bulb from www.hoen-usa .com
I can post pics of mine later once I get to a computer (posting from my phone right now)
as for the driver lights, go with a high power 194 bulb per the "wow, bright led" thread

so you would recommend that site compared to Vleds?
i was thinking of doing the same, just switching the bulbs to LEDs but then again i also want to get some HID fogs too

correct me if I'm wrong but don't the corner lights have to be yellow. You won't pass inspection if there not. I replaced mine with clear ones but the bulbs are the stealth bulbs they appear white but shine yellow. But you may know this already.

I haven't tried the LED fog lights from v-leds, are they plug and play? Don't you have to take out the deflector inside?

Here's my car with hoen bulbs

I liked the Hoen H11 fog bulbs as well. I think they match very well for a regular style bulb. LEDs look good and I think are even brighter. I'd stick with VLED, but I think you have to take out the deflector. Check out the thread on LEDs.

I love the high power brake LED bulbs from VLED. They are much brighter than the stock bulbs.
