Fog lights brightening
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone (other than the spammers here) have upgraded the bulbs on their fogs. I saw mine reflected in a storefront and though " wow "those look cheezee, my 911 headlights are brighter" A few of the other forms have guys going to xenons, but I don't want any issues, so I am thinking about the PIAA H11 xtreme White bulbs. Any before and after pics? Cheers

The last thing you are going to want is "white" bulbs in your fog lights. They arecdesigned for fog not bright distance light projection. If you are going to change to anything i would change to a yellow bulb to help in foggy conditions.

I can understand your thoughts, and now the lights are just too dim. the fog/driving lights just need to be brighter.
Yes I could do yellow, but I have not seen any proof that yellow is better, so I will just go with white. Besides, it's more snow that fog I am concerned with.

Well I got one of my PIAA H11 bulbs in and I have to say the guys in Stuttgart have tiny hands or these bulbs were never designed to be changed.
I will have to see (at Night) if they make much difference, and when I get more time change the second one. The access problem on the turbo is the intercoolers are in the way so it's a B!tch to get at the bulbs.

http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=2465 If you want a cheap HID kit for them in yellow, with a 3000 kelvin bulb, I can tell you where to get those as well. Shoot me a PM if interested. Quote:
Ever gotten frustrated in fog and turned on your high beams only to discover it's far worse? If you really want them BRIGHTER - Well, I would either go with an overwattage bulb, or HID with 3000Kelvin, or you could also do a relay kit... The relay kit, however, requires thoughtful care and careful thought, a soldering iron, and time. And you might not want to touch your cayenne's electrical system. I have however done it on several cars without issue. |

yes I guess the yellow bulb is much better to use, if the condition is foggy. White bulb light will only blend in the fog so it is not so nice.
