Fog/Turn bulb replacement

I haven't received my 07 G yet, wanted to go ahead and get replacement bulbs for the fogs (even thougth most drivers on here say they are useless) possibly a hyper white type bulb for the turn signals since theyre in a clear enclosure on this car and possibly the backup lights and some other things on the car.. sylvania doesnt have a replacement chart for this car yet.. was wondering if anyone could help me out.

Hyper white lights aren't generally recommended for fog light use due to the reflective properties that fog has on that wavelength of light color. You are better off with either the stock "yellowish" light or if you want to really upgrade you can get a set of the JDM Yellow bulbs which are more suitable for fog use.

Just my 2 pennies.

a simple search would have yielded the answers you are looking for.

well, if i'm not mistaken:
fogs are h1
turn signals are 7440

I did a simple search a few actually.. seized no results thank you though, i wasnt sure if they had changed between last gen of G and the new one.. i know lots of manufacturers will keep the bulbs the same even if a redesign

yes, the bulbs did change.
older (non projector) housins used different HID, fog, and turn signal bulbs.
