Lower fog lights
Does anyone have info on a model number for the lower fog lights, the bulb only. I am looking to upgrade to a different temp light. Any suggestions? thanks

Just my .02 but I think it'd be better if you upgraded to an hid fog light kit. That way it will match your headlights. Those are my plans at least.

That may be worth more than .02cents. Do you know what bulb is currently in the fog lights located in the picture?

and yes, it's the H11. I believe DDM tuning is what DivaDanielle has used in her car on her fogs. I think the kit is something like 39.99. If you go this route, let me know how it goes.

I have the DDM tuning bulbs and HID fog light kit (all 4500K). It looks good and converting the fogs has def. increased my visibility. It has a blue tint to it now but not to intense. I think you can go up to 5K before you start to lose usable light but not sure about that. The bulbs where $32 and the fog kit was $40. They come from China so it takes almost 2 weeks to receive anything from them. I had one headlight bulb go out about a month after but they replaced it under warranty no problem. Just had to put my stockers back end until the replacement arrived (another two weeks). Check out a vendor on here called Diode Dynamics. I think they have good stuff too. I will post a pic of mines when I get home 2mrw.

Which would best match in your opinions?
@ what temp is the factory HIDs installed?
I am still unsure what is in the factory lower fogs. Are they LEDs? I am tempted to take one out later.
To get a true match will I need a ballast and HID conversion kit?

Anyone know how to change them?
I have the Pony Package with the same fog lights and will upgrade the fog light bulbs as well. Anyone know how to change them? How do I get access to the lower fog light section of the bumper. I would love to do this without taking the bumper off. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys the stock headlights are 4300K and the fogs are h11 halogen bulbs. If you get 4500K headlight bulbs (D3S) you can get a 4500K hid fog light kit (H11) and everything will match up. It won't be off from the daytime running lamps either. You don't need to take the bumper off to get to the fogs just take off the panel protecting the underside and you can easily get to the fogs. I didn't even need to jack the car up. CVN your lowered so you may need to to get under there. It was all plug and play and took me about an hour to install and that was taking my time. Like I said I post a pic later.

-Headlight bulbs are D3S

Thanks for the info on how to replace the bulbs on my lower fog lights. Gonna upgrade to Philips X-Treme Vision H11's. They will throw 100% further than stock and that should be just about all I'll need out of my fogs. Thanks again for the help.
