Props to Hoen-usa

Too easy to gripe when we have bad experiences, time to relate some good news.

I ordered some xenonmatch fog lamp bulbs from Hoen, and I screwed up and ordered the wrong type. I wrote to them, and Andreas over there told me to ship the bulbs back (free via UPS) and even double checked the order with me before reshipping. I'd recommend them on customer service alone, they've been great.

Concur.

I've had the Höen xenonmatch fogs for more than a year, and I have been extremely satisfied with the quality and performance of the product. Ordering was quick, easy and painless, and the shipment was speedy. Good price, too.

Overall, I've been very satisfied with the Höen xenonmatch fogs.

What bulb is used for fogs? One of mine burnt out and this would be a good time to pick those Hoen's up.

I asked Hoen about the DRL's xenonmatch and there reply was:

"We do not support DRL use of our bulbs. DRL's in the BMW operate at 50% power and will not produce an HID match quality at this rating."
