I have seen a few threads out there about upgrading Head/Fog lights. Also read about using yellow bulbs for the fog lights, because that color cuts though fog the best. My question is: Is this true and what brand/model bulb is the best for both Headlight and Foglights.

I have PIAA Super Plasma GT-X headhlights - they are nice and bright, but a little too purple for my taste. They are not stupid purple like some of the cheaper bulbs, but I think I prefer a slightly more blue tint. Next time I will stick to Super Plasma regular bulbs.

I just got Nokya 9145 yellow ion bulbs from eBay. Look really good with the black truck and I don't need to worry about melting anything as people who use 9005 bulbs (maybe) do.

I will post pix.

I put in the PIAA Super Plasma GT-X bulbs also, and used the PIAA HB plasma for the foglights.

Can someone provide me with a website that has decent prices?

How are these for headlights? http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=PIA15224/353.0

I got my PIAA headlights and foglights on Ebay for about $65 a pair. Seems expensive, but they are pretty much the best bulbs out there. Expect them to last about 5 years.

No mods right? just replace the bulbs. I read something about replaceing something or another... Whats that about?

I went the cheap route.

I ordered 2 pairs of blue-xenon like bulbs for the truck.

Total=$16 dollars for both sets.

So far so good. I have had them since the 4th day I have owned the truck and no problems.

I am lucky.


I got them on eBay by the way.

They also have the Diadem coated turn signal bulbs (kinda chrome/blueish when off, amber when on). 25% brighter than stock.

Their brighter headlight bulbs are $17.00 each, German made. He felt you should not replace the fogs with anything else.

i think everyone has their own preferences as far as headlite and fog lite bulbs go. endless discussions as to whether yellow or white bulbs are better in fog. my own experience is that the piaa H4's over time, coat the inside of the headlite lens and the relfector with the coating that is on the bulb itself. i removed the bulbs and compared them to brand new ones, and found the coating (blue substance) to wear off over time. also had a few explode, which according to piaa, was caused by too much heat buildup in the headlite housing itself. they did replace the bulbs for free.
i tired hella H4's with a yellow coating, which seemed to work great in snow/rain/fog conditions. only problem with them is that the local yokels told me they were illegal. i have seen some HID lites (bmw) that should be declared illegal since they blind the living crap out of ya.
bottom line is that everyone has their own preferences, what works and what doesnt.

I run the Wagner TruViews in my fogs & headlights and love them! Nice pure white light and bright!! NAPA carries them as may other parts houses.
