This has got to be fairly straight forward, but the manual says leave it to the dealer. Is accessing the foglight bulbs that much of a project?

it's not as hard as the manual says 2001f4s, but it is a chore. u gotta get under the front of the car, remove something like a hundred bolts and have a pretty linber hand. (ok, a hundred bolts is a little exaggeration )

seriously, it takes some time but u can do it yourself. i did. :D

i ordered some hoen's. expensive but they look good and really do match the HIDs quite well.

mikeb

you need size h11

Thanks ELX13 and Mikeb. I will give it a shot. I bought H11 Nokya for the fogs and Hoen's for the high beams.
Thanks again

If you live in a cold climate watch out for the Nokya H11 lights.I had them installed on mine and it cracked the lens on the fog lights themselves.The wattage is to high the dealer told me.The correct wattage is 55w the Nokya bulbs are 80w.

I personally went with the AdvancedOptik 55W H11s in my fogs and the 65W H9s in my high beams. Both are a nearly exact match for the HIDs in color, and the high beams are considerably brighter than the factory bulbs... or so I'm told. I have yet to find the time to put them in! But many others have. Check out this thread for lots of discussion on changing out the bulbs.

They can be purchased here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks will hopefully get to them this weekend

I wonder if PIA makes that size bulb.

2001F4S

I don't think PIAA makes either a H9 or H11. I bought the Nokya H9 bulbs for the fogs and the Hoen's for the high beams

Here is a set of aftermkt fog lights that I upgraded the light bulbs. They now have 100 watt bulbs instead of the 55watt bulb. The differeance is a brighter road:D

Hey ELX13, this is a dumb question, but which HOEN bulb did you go with? there site has four different kinds on there, the XenonMatch, titanium, all-weather, and the plus. thanks jeremy. oh yea for the fog lights.

Thought I heard that the last guy who pit in 100W bulbs kept popping fuses. Have you had that problem?

tommy12g

I put the Nokya h11 and a month later I blew one, not the fuse the actual bulb blew up !! i still have debree from the bulb in the enclosure that i cant get out!! i now have the XD5 h11 and those are the exact same color as the Nokya and have had those for 3 months and no problems , im in South Fla so the cold is not the only place were bulbs blow

ELX13

XenonMatch if i remember correctly. i'll doublecheck when i get home and re-post.
