Default Question on fog light blubs

Does anyone know which replacement bulbs fit the fogs on the 98 GS400? I replaced the hi beam lights and have HID's on the outside and want the fogs to match the other lights.

Only go with PIAA...you will have problems with any other brand, I'm sure some one will try to argue this but PIAA's are the only one with a warrenty you can actually use.

Default Fog lamp bulbs

I agree on the suggestion to use the PIAAs. You can also use the amber that they offer if you have the clear lenses. I like those better than trying to match anything to HID. My .02...

These are real close - Super Plasma Series Bulbs. I have matched them next to a GS 400 and they are close. Actually the ones for the fogs are Yellow Ions if you have clear fogs.

i though this is 9006 too.. but when i tryed to put bulbs from my head lights to my fog lights they didn't really seem to fit on the socket.. the whole bulb looks like 9006 i'll give you that.. but socket is 9 out of 10..its not exactly as on regular 9006 or maybe that bulb was diffected or something

Thumbs up 9006

Fogs and low beams are interchangeable.... You just have to maneuver it in. It is the exact same bulb though. I have used it b4 when I had one go out.

The fogs are just a pain to change...your right, you have to wiggle them in...
