Brightest Fog Light!

I'm looking for a fog light to fit in my bumper. I want the brightest and whitest that I can get. I was looking at Hella but is there a better one at there? Is there H.I.D. fog lights? And what are the brightest halogen fog lights?

Hella makes HID foglights that cost $500 each. (aka $1000 per pair)
and what bumper do u have? if its stock bumper, u are pretty much have to stick with oem ones unless you wanna drill holes or what not.

I had a pair of SIJ hyper whites on my 92 civic....they were brighter than most of the HID's I see on the road today. They also had a nice thick glass lens so that the unavoidable rocks didn't crack it on impact. The pair including all the wiring equipment only cost me 100 bucks canadian. If I saw a pair of those in a shop I would definitely get a set for my 05 civ.

halogen could never be as bright as HID.


HID fogs are a bit over kill, if your looking for acual function you should go with yellow fogs. Get oem replicas and get lamin-x to protect them or have impulse make lexan lenses w/ yellow capsules.

amazing how the yellow fog bulbs are so much easier to see on the road than white.

I think thats my next retro. D2s's in OEM fog lights. I'll wire them up as my brights. I wonder if I can pull it off with one set of ballasts?

i don't have oem fog lights but i always wanted to put d2r bulbs in oem foglights. I just don't know if it has enough depth. I think mabey the d2s bulb might be too long.
