Arrow Here is a new one!!!!!



Did anyone hear of this? My dealer said that on my 2007 is250 i need to have 51watt like the stock foglights and that if i want to change my fogs to yellow i have to find 51watt. since the right side always burns the harness and with stock bulbs they don't, is this strange? and what are the best bulb that wont do that?

you can buy an heavy duty harness to fix the harness problem. check with one of the vendors and see if they might have it. if not pm me and i will send you to a place that will.

Like lamma said, I have not had "TO" many issues.

Just had 1 ballast burn out, and 1 bulb that needed to be replaced, both are HID and both were aftermarket. However, there was an issue with the direct wiring connection leads. The OEM connectors got bent and did not pass current. Resolution: cut wires and re-wire.

I've been running 80w bulbs for 2 years with no issues. I did use dielectric compound/grease on the connections.
