Fog lights... bulbs - Honda Prelude Forum

munscher · 06-27-2003, 05:17 AM

I've got a pair of fog lights in the mail and i'm wondering what bulbs to go with... i think i'd rather have the yellow housing fogs but i couldnt pass up the deal i got on the clear housings, does anybody use yellow bulbs in the clear housings? how do they look? pictures?

Anybody with pictures of their fogs, feel free to post 'em up to give me ideas, thanks!

anybody use Polarg Pure Yellow or Piaa Plasma Ion Yellow series bulbs?

I'm running Narva Golds pretty cheap @ $18 per bulb but they put out great yellow light

munscher · 06-27-2003, 08:25 AM

Yeah, i've done a little more searching and got some info...
The narva golds look pretty good, and only from suvlights.com which seems to have slow response and shipping huh?

Do the Piaas fade like the narvas do?

I'd go with PIAA.. whether you want yellow (ie the yellow ion bulbs) or if you want an HIDish light, the Super Plasma's are freaking awesome. I saw them on Socaliflude's car at LFW and I fell in love, so I bought some, and I haven't regretted it.

Are the Super Plasma's pure white? or do they have any sorta bluish hue to them? pics?

I'm starting to lean towards the piaa ion yellows right now, assuming they dont fade like the narvas

I got the Piaa Ion Yellows...they look great

heres my friend's (Alexlude) w/ the same bulbs

The Super Plasma's aren't white, they're more of a purplish/rainbow... they're almost exactly like HID's. I'll take pics tonight when it's nice and dark out.

I have PIAA yellow ion bulbs if you want to buy them. I got my JDM yellow fogs so I dont need them.

LUDE'Z · 06-27-2003, 09:59 PM

Is there any particular site that sell the super plasmas cheap, or is eBay the best way to find them?

willmbrk · 06-27-2003, 10:41 PM

I get PIAAs through Tweeter real cheap, but thats only cause I know someone at corporate

Here's a couple pics:

If you guys want it a lil bigger, just add '.orig.jpg' to the end of the links.

munscher · 06-28-2003, 08:03 AM

anybody ever seen the raybrig ion yellows?

JC_lude · 06-28-2003, 03:36 PM

what type of light bulbs for stock fog light and where i can get new h4 relay at?

rkonfire · 03-04-2004, 04:12 AM

Don't the PIAA super plasmas run like 100W versus the stock 55W? Won't that frye some wires? I have an aftermarket wiring harness for my headlights so the stock wiring doesn't melt, but as far as the fogs are concerened it's all stock wiring. I have USDM fogs, btw.

Scott95VTEC · 03-04-2004, 11:05 AM

Not my car(Preluda92's car) but it still works, JDM Fogs with amber bulbs

RedH22A1 · 03-04-2004, 02:17 PM

wow super old post !

I have 100watt Sylvania H3 bulbs and it looks awesome...I'll take new pix tonight.

rkonfire · 03-04-2004, 08:13 PM

Yeah, I'm not doubting the looks. I'm just curious as to how 100W H3 bulbs aren't frying your guys' wiring. Or maybe it is? I believe the stock fogs are 55W.

trident · 03-04-2004, 09:03 PM

If you want yellow fog lights, just paint the lenses with yellow Krylon glass paint. I did mine, and they look (lit and unlit) exactly like the real thing.

yohan420 · 03-07-2004, 12:59 AM

Whats a cheap like-stock H3 that I can toss in until I get my piaa extremes ??

Also, to change the bulbs do you need to remove the bumper?
