hi this is my first post on here :)

im currently looking to upgrade all of the bulbs on my car. I have already done the headlights and ordered all of the interior bulbs and number plate bulbs, but i am now looking to do the front fogs. I have read a post on here saying that it will either be hb4 or h11 depending on whether the lenses are projector or not.

Is there a way of telling what type of lense they are so i can get the right bulb or do i have to take the bulb out so i can have a look at the bulb itself. Cheers :)

i think im going to go for white ones with a slight blue tint. I know that yellow cuts through the fog better (or so ive been told) but i just prefer the look of the whiter lights :)

These are the ones I'm holding out for. Nowhere in the UK stocks them though but have seen a seller from the US that sells them so that's where I'm going to get them from.

And don't talk to me about slippery slopes. I thought I was immune and had reasonable self control. No such chance. You are a bad lot, all of you!  :signLOL:
