Model no for Fog lamp

Hey thanks for the reply.... So that bulb not in the H series?
 
hey... i m thinking of changing the stock bulb to the after market white light. Do u think it will be brighter or will there be any side effect?
 
If you are still referring to fog lights, try size HB4 4,500 K (some Jap or Taiwanese brand) that is sold in Autobac. $120 per pair, but damn white. Blends with Philips Diamond Vision 5,000 K. I am assuming you are using the Hella pre-facelift fogs. But they do have the same brand for facelifted models.

Don't think you can go higher kelvin than that. The higher the kelvin ratings, the more bluish is the light, the shorter is the wavelength, and thus is less visible at a longer distance. Hence defeats the purpose if you want a further throw from your lights.

Hi !

I just want to add what Kenntona has mentioned.

I visited Autobac yesterday. Based on their information only Philips Bulb is approved by LTA (Silver, Blue and Diamond Vision). I am not sure how true but this is what they told me :roll:

All PIAA is not approved by LTA ==> But you can find lot of White PIAA Bulbs display :screwedu:

Autobac is selling Diamond Vision 5000K at S$85/pair. I called up Eng Soon they quote me S$70/pair (Exclude GST).

As for the Fog Light, Philips only has Silver Vision (Blue Bulb but output is yellow in colour but brigher than stock Fog Bulb they claimed.

They show me HID BT606 S$104.30 and told me these bulbs match very well with Diamond Vision 5000K.

I am still looking for silimar Fog Bulb to match Diamond Vision, if anyone has tried other brand of fog bulb that match well with Diamond Vision. Please share with us :)

I hope above information is useful :)
 
afaik, white colour bulbs are now okay as long as the wattage remains in line with mfgr specs. :thinking:

there was a newspaper article on this a while back.
 
Guys,

Thanks for the info! Car scenario:

1. Xenon lights are 4.3k
2. Fog lights are stock.

So to change my fogs' brightness and colour to match my xenons, I have to get HB4 4,500k bulbs. Is that correct?

Cheers
 
Hey do u guys think after changing the bulb will it melt or burn the plug or wires???

That's what I would do.

Unless you wanna go for 4,300 K HB4 - if they carry that (Silver Vision).

Just to share - I am using 5,000 K Diamond Vision for my H7, and 4,500 K HB4 for fogs. The cluster looks blended, except for the yellow "pearl" in my highbeam cups. Once the CCFL is installed, the "pearl" will be removed for the cables, and the whole cluster will look uniformly whitish when lit.

Ken,

Am i correct to assume that u have HIDs too? If u do, i'll be following your configuration as well, , 5K Diamond Vision for my H7s, and 4,500 K HB4 for fogs!

As for the yellow "pearl", i think i'll keep it to give a nice contrast to the rest of the headlights!

Thanks!

Nope, Sam, I do not have HIDs.

The "yellow pearl" gives an Euro look, says The Great White.
 
Cheapest so far I find for the Philips Diamond Vision H7 is $68, no GST, cash payment, but no installation. Installation was a bit siong to my standard especially for the passenger side.. very cramp :p

hmm... was asking the shop for Diamond Vision for the HB4, like dun have. :(

Think there's only Bluevision for the HB4, which is 4300K I think. Anyway, still yet to replace my fog since I hardly on my fog. :p

I installed the Diamond Vision, I feel is just a little too white, but since is high beam, I also hardly use, so is ok for me.

Now looking for 6000K xenon that's not as ex as Philips ones but as bright as that. :p

I did not ask... but err... the HB4 I'm not too sure, cos my eyes might have stamp, see wrongly, but confirm the H7 is correct, since I was focus on getting that only.

My guess the HB4 should be same price as the H7.

I'm not related to the shop in anyway, just happen to see it from some other forums.

You can give them a call and look for "Li lian" or something.

I hope these information is useful :)
