Default Upgrading Foglights?????

I have a 99 GS300 and I want to upgrade the bulbs in the foglights. Anyone have any suggestions as to what kind of bulb I should use. I am worried about melting the housing or harness. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks

The foglight bulbs are the same as ur lowbeam bulbs. I had the piaa platinum superwhites for my low beams so i decided to get them as well for my foglights so that the colors match perfectly. If i remember right its the bulbs are HB4 A.K.A. 9006. I've had them on for bout a month and no problems. oh yea, my GS3 is a 2k1, pretty sure its the same as urs.

Hopes this helps,

Boris

Sleepy,

How do you like your PIAA SuperWhite? What color does it really give out? Does it match the HID?

oh yea, one other bit i forgot to add...a few of my friends have used both nokya and hyper industries and they both blew on them in about 2 months or so...and i know for sure that their wasnt any dirt/oil or any sort of grit on it, because we were extra careful when puttin them in. Thats just my experience with them.

Hey Sick,

How long have you had your Razo super white? I just bought some about a week ago. I am wondering if they are going to blow out quick like some other hyper lights. At least it is good that they offer a two month warranty on them.
