Fogs, clearance & corner bulbs upgraded

Thanks to some info and help from Trentacinque I was able to get the fog lights swapped out. Also changed the clearance and amber corner bulbs while I was at it.

Decided to go with

Fogs: <a href="http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=EM&Product_Cod e=mtec-15">MTEC Bulbs for the fogs - $22.00 + shipping</a>

Clearance:
PIAA Super Plasma # 19170 - got them locally for $11.00

Did the corner turn signal mod, so i'm using amber bulbs in my clear corners. Went with GE # 194na/BP2 amber bulbs from Walmart - $ 2. Found them to be slightly more orange and closer to the stock turn signal color than the ones included with the clear corners.

Pictures did'nt turn out well, but here they are. I think the MTEC bulbs compliment the HIDs very well.

Re: Fogs, clearance & corner bulbs upgraded

The fog change is pretty easy. Just turn the wheel, remove the liner, and change them out. When he had only one changed you could see a difference on his wall, during the day. I don't think there's much more range but it fills in close to the car where the HIDs don't hit and it blends much bettter. The look from outside is remarkable. I never used my fogs before because I thought they looked cheap. Now they're always on.

I'll send you a pm on the stickers. I don't want to hijack this thread.

Re: Fogs, clearance & corner bulbs upgraded

Quick question RedWillow: do those bulbs come two to a package for $22.00 or do I need to order a quantity of two?

Thanks.

Mygunit: yes the visibility is much better now, especially close to the car on the sides. Everything looks crisper and clearer.

Yes, all the bulbs i mentioned above are sold in sets of 2. $22 was for a set of (2) of the fog bulbs.

Re: Fogs, clearance & corner bulbs upgraded

hey mitch, what do you say? wanna get together and try this out? it doesn't sound to hard and definitely sounds like its a major difference.

trentacinque: is there a DIY available to take off the liner and all that you just said for the install? some pics would be great and maybe if you could point me to some info on how to take it off so easily.

thanks a lot.

Where'd you pick up the clearance lights at locally ?

Thanks.

an auto performance place called "5th Gear", some truck accessories stores in my area also carry the PIAA bulbs.

Re: Fogs, clearance & corner bulbs upgraded

Thanks I'll check around. I'd hate to buy them online and pay just as much for shipping as the light cost.
