Have the Factory Xenon's, on the 325 I had had the Hoen's for the regular lights and they were pretty bright with a blue tint, is there something better for the fog lights of our cars?

Short of installing a 9006 xenon upgrade for fogs (it would be bright as hell) the Hoen 51w is the best bet to match the factory low beam xenons. The brightest halogen is stock, but thats going to look dull compared to the Hoen or HID. jrlvwjet 09-13-2004, 10:15 PM Get the Supreme Power Parts (http://www.supremepowerparts.com) 9006 55W Super White bulbs. I run them in my car, and after trying PIAA, Xenisis, etc, the SPP bulbs come the closest to matching the factory Xenons, and they're pretty bright. My buddiest are always telling me that when I'm following them at night, it looks pretty sweet!

Thanks man, I think I'll order a set this paycheck. Pretty inexpensive too. cowboy bebop 09-14-2004, 10:44 AM I am also running the SPP's but I might disagree about the brightness. they are decidedly brighter than the stock and a good color match to the Xenon's, they are not real bright. I can't tell they are on unless it is pretty dark. these aim quite low intentionally. so if you are looking toward more of a bright, or driving light these might not make you happy.
