Hey guys, I am wanting to get a little more light out of the fog lamps in my 03 QX4. Not sure what I should use for bulbs however, and searching around here hasn't turned up much for answers. I would like to keep them yellow, they cut through fog/rain/snow really well with the yellow they just aren't as bright as I would like.

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

As far as brightness goes i dont think u can beat an aftermarket HID kit in 3000k color which is yellow. They produce, in my personal opinion, about 2/3X more light output yet consume less wattage. U can pick up one of these kits on ebay for around $40 over higher wattage bulbs as ive seen them burn thru wiring n harnesses on other cars cuz of the extra heat n power they pull. HIDs only pull 35w as opposed to 55w which is what usually an H3 foglight bulb pulls. If i were u just double check how much space u have inside the foglight hole as HID bulbs are usually longer than the factory halogen bulb so u might have to ask the HID seller if they offer a kit with a shorter bulb. Hope this helps.

I think these are the best. i've got the same kit in my altima (headlamps and fogs) and just put some in my pathy (headlamps and fogs) + lifetime warrantee. lot's of people have these kit's and really like them.
