Just installed the MotionR 6000k Fog lamps bulbs. They look fantastic and they really outperform Silverstar, Sylvania/osram, PIAA, Phillips bulbs. I really didn't like the look of the stock Fog lamps, and wanted something that would match the xenon lights without paying tons of money. $85 and 15 minutes later I was in business. Great customer service as well. If you don't like the look of the stock Fogs, I would highly recommend these. From testimonials, those bulbs should last for long time. Thanks to all on the board who had posted this address in the past. Never would have found it otherwise.

I lined up with a friend and sure enough... they were the same heigth. then i went to where people kept flashing me. i realized, that the stop was angled so that my headlights were in the faces of the oncomming traffic... sucks for them... when they flash thier brights i now flash mine back to show them how bright they can really get. a friend bought these blubs that look green. and when i drive behind him. my bulbs over power his. LOL

yea color bulbs are less bright.... and i dont see why people would buy green headlights. Not only they attaract cop's attention, they are also kinda weird looking. I've seen green headlights on a car oncoming from the other direction, they look UGLY........ sorry no offence to your friend...

i've heard a couple positives about nokya, and their price is pretty cheap too isnt it? i've foudn some on ebay for around $25 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36476

but one thing i dont understand is, what the heck are the stages? they have stage I and stage II and stuffs for the nokya blubs and i think i saw that the Wattage are different, does it mean one is brighter than the other?

Its different wattages, so yes they'd be brighter, but they'd also be the wrong bulb and would put strain on the system.

more wattage = hotter? hotter = burn harness/messup the whole electronic system?
whats the mass wattage that the stock harness can bear?

no more than 60-65 watts on high beam, i'd say, cause the apc's are too high at like 65-73 watts, and quite a few ppl burned their harness on them. cant handle much more than stock as it wasnt made to, if you want more save up and buy h.i.d.'s. i had apc's and my wiring actually felt like it was melting so i bought silverstars but now when these go im gonna buy catz or mtecs. dont buy cheap cause your gonna burn the harness, or the lights will burn out soon after purchase. if your gonna buy anything buy either h.i.d.'s if u have unlimited financial resources or spend the extra 20-40 dollars and get the quality bulbs that will last and be bright and not hurt your car.
