Question for you guys: I just replaced my stock fog light bulbs today with some PIAA X-treme white 4150 bulbs and when replacing the bulbs back in the fog light housing neither side would turn a full 1/4 turn like the stock bulbs. The right bulb turned just shy of a 1/4 turn but the left bulb would only turn about an 1/8 of a turn. Did anyone else have this problem? The bulbs appear to be firmly in place in the housing and, yes they are the correct bulbs, but I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem or has any suggestions...?

 

DAMN! now that I'm ready to do this mod I can not get these bulbs for the price you guys paid just top dollar does anyone know where to get them? i email yoshi aas recommended for both bulbs but I really want the 4700k...

 

Ok here is the response,, seems the xtreme bulbs are not available anymore ... here is the message he sent
Hello, Juan. Thank you for your question. I don't have Xtreme Force
HB(4700K) and Xtreme White HB(4150K). But I have newer PIAA bulb in HB.
PIAA Super White & White HB(4300K) and Platinum Super White HB(4100K). If
you are trying to match the color of HID headlight, both of these will be
perfect. Xtreme Force(4700k) is too blue and will not match your headlight.
The price of Super White & White HB(4300K) or Platinum Super White
HB(4100K) is us$54.99(two bulbs) and shipping to US is us$4.99 via regular
air mail (5 to 7 days) or us$11.99 via intenational express mail with
tracking number and insurance (2 to 4 days).

So has nay used the SuperWhites?

 

I did,


Before




After with Superwhite 4100K I think it is a close enough match and retains as much fog piercing light as I need here in not too foggy Florida.

 

good info

Lots of good posts out there on this subject?thought I would share my technique with you. In the end it took me about 5 mins per side.

Using an 8mm socket remove these 4 screws

Here's another shot of 2 of the 4 screws

Using a Phillips loosen/remove these two fasteners (belly pan)

Slightly pull the wheel liner out

Do you know anywhere I can buy the Piaa 4700k hb bulbs? I tried Ebay but no luck, any stores online offer them?

 

Picked mine up from EBay, looks like thats not working for you...sorry i cant be of more help

 

sorry that i didn't see a much difference in the before and after pictures after the foglight is installed, but it sure is an awesome help for those who want to change foglights DIY, just curious... how come you didn't consider HID forlights?

 

I got Piaa 6500k in my for over 2 years and they are OK get a bit hot but OK

 

are the Piaa's a better match over the Xeonmatch bulbs everyone is stating are a perfect match? thanks
