can i upgrade both my fog lights and turn signals by simply purchasing brighter bulbs, or would i have to buy an hid kit for the fog lights???

im currently looking to purchase these

FOG LIGHTS

any help is greatly appreciated!!!

 

Yea those would work, just not sure if the fog light led bulbs would be as bright as hid's but for the price it wouldnt hurt to try, post pica when you get them.

 

if you need hid kit i can get a pair for u if you interested

 

Do i have to buy an hid kit or can i just upgrade my bulb to a higher kelvin????

 

Well iirc, your fogs are halogen so you won't notice too much of a difference unless you upgraded to an hid kit.

 

Thanks for answering my question

 

If you want to continue to use halogens, get Phillips extremes or osram night breakers plus. You will not get any brighter than these on halogen. Now if you go the hid route, you got either projector retro (can get quite expensive) or aftermarket hid kit.

and for the turn signals is my only option LED??

 

should i get the 7440 or 7443 bulb???? one is single filament the other is dual, what does that mean and which one should i purchase?

 

What year is your car?

For '05/'06 (mine) the fogs are 1/2 of a two filament halogen which also serves as your high-beams. Stock wattage is 60/55w (high/fog). AlexNY mentioned the easiest upgrade - brighter halogens. Beyond that you'd need to go HID conversion but that's complicated and costly.

The turn signal bulb is also a 2 filament bulb, stock wattage being 21/5w, and that covers your signal/parking lamp.

An LED swap for the signal/parking bulb should be great but I don't think an LED could put out as much light as your stock halogens. Maybe I'm wrong?

 

03/04 Front signal bulbs are single filament.

05/06 Front signal bulbs are dual filament, they have a 'marker' light that is on with the headlights.

Those LED's will cause your signals to "hyperflash" unless you install a drop resistor on either side, or an LED relay for them. I'd advise you to forget both ideas because those won't really be brighter than stock by any measure and the colour likely won't be as nice as stock.

 

The hid kit for the fog lights is only 40$ is this a bad investment???

 

$40 is only going to give you one filament, you'll lose your highbeam.

HID kits are a gamble unless you get them from a good retailer/manuf.

At 40, I'm assuimg that's ebay.

I am going by this DIY and purchasing the same hid kit.

I have an 04 so wouldn't i only need a single filament anyways?

Im going to look for a led vs oem picture comparison just so i can see, but if its not as nice then i wont do it.

 

I like that yellow-ish HID fog idea but if I read those threads correctly, and as TunerMax says above, the single filament conversion will result in you losing your high-beams. (Only two wires from the ballast to the 3-pin plug...)

And since the "turn-indicator" on the '04 is a single filament bulb with no "markers", that would take a "single" type LED bulb if you end up going that route. The ones you pointed to say "no hyper-flash" so they may have the necessary resistors built in.
