They got this stupid rule on http://www.superbrightleds.com that i have to spend $25 to get my order shipped out of the USA

SO I thought maybe some LED bulbs for my foglights might be cool.

ANyone know what size they are, or what they are called for replacement in an 01+

H3 is usually the standard fog bulb. Personally ,I don't think LED bulbs in the fog location are going to do you any good. I don't think they make automotive LEDs with any kind of high lumen (light output) value. 1w and 3w LED flashlights are expensive, imagine a 25w LED application.

I would just stick with the H3 bulb and get it in a yellow. The PF comes with clear fog lenses and white fog lights. I think the yellow bulb would add some benefit to the performance of the fogs. They won't be brighter, but should let you see the edges of the road better. Remember, these are fog lights and not driving lights.

The Qx4 did it right with yellow lenses. I guess that was a difference between Infinity and Nissan brand vehicle.

HID fogs are nice, but not worth it in the end. Stick with the H3s.
