Default Brightness Of Stock Yellow Foglights

Hey guys, soon I will be getting a pair of OEM yellow foglights and I have an idea of how to make them brighter/deeper in color. I want your opinions on this.

I just got my Philips 6000k and it looks great, I was wondering how it would look like if I put the PIAA Yellow IONS into my OEM yellow fog lamps. Would it create a brighter/deeper color? Or if I put PIAA EXTREME WHITE PLUS into the stock fogs, would the color be enhanced? My goal is to make the color of the yellow fogs brighter.

What do you guys think?

Hey William,

Look at the pics in the link above - the Piaas made a noticable difference in brightness, output and color.

Hey - you hook me up with the Piaas, I'll tell you about some more Piaas .

I got mine two/three years ago (think this was my first mod ) and can't recall exactly where I got them. Think it may have been www.autotoys.com, but not sure how competitive they are on prices nowadays.

William,

I was out looking for some pics for another purpose and ran across this in some archives. These are the set I use. I forgot that I have the 'older version' Super White vs Extreme White PIAA bulbs. I bought them as a package set 9005/9006 and also replaced my high beams at the same time.
