you want to convert your fog light bulbs?

OEM foglights use H3...

your headlights use H4

H1 is the same as H3 without the wire.

cool.

the light output of the h3's I can kinda deal with.

but there's no hyperwhites for h3's. Well, there's one brand I can get locally, but it sucks.

PIAA, Raybrig, Nokya all have "hyperwhites for H3. Look harder :fawk:

I'll tell you now though, I wouldnt get the PIAA or Nokya "hyper" bulbs. Their output is worst than what you have now.

I have one Nokya H3 bulb from back in the day when I use to have projectors. I think that shop does not know what their talking about.


H1 is the same bulb...how can it be brighter? It only looks brighter because the high beam housing is reflective like stock and not a projector type housing like your low beams.
