OEM Fog Light Conversion

titanwild · 09-18-2004, 10:43 PM

I would like to convert the OEM fogs to a 'driving light' type of bulb, would be a more focused longer range type of beam than the wide-dispersion fog. Anyone tried that yet?

Not sure if the reflector part of the fog light would be good for a driving light. Seems like it is built to refect out low and wide, where driving lights are narrow and directly in front. A 'brighter' bulb might help out, but I wouldn't go to a higher wattage bulb. I've heard of wiring harnesses getting too hot and melting.

After putting in Silverstars in the low beams, my fogs look dull and very dim. Any body know of a Silverstar like bulb for the fog lights?

Well, to answer my own question, Silverstar comes in a size 880, 29w bulb, but the Titan takes a #881 32w bulb in the fog lights, so not sure if it will fit.

Thanks for the advice Hatch,
My thoughts exactly on the fogs compared to the Xenon 5600 high & low beams. The yellow fogs look terrible!

We'll keep looking.
