HID Fog Question

Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade my fog lights to the HID. I just want to do the simple bulb swithch, I am not looking for the kit. I used the search feature, and could not find exactly what I am looking for. My question is, what bulb do I buy that will give the appearance of the xenon? Ijsut want brighter fogs, then I have now. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

We have our Predator Xenix bulbs which are simple xenon colored halogen replacements for your fogs.

You would need H11 for your fogs.

If you want brighter bulbs you have to get HID fog lights and you will need a kit for that.

I will order a pair of h11s tomorrow. I took some time to play with the fog light housing before I attempted the install, and I could not get them to come out?! Any suggestions? Thanks.

Look here http://www.xoutpost.com/ There's a whole section on lights including fogs and their installation. (Hint look under the section called lights)

I was looking at bavauto, under my car the fog lights came up H3. What is the difference between h3 and h11. Thanks.
