I'm looking into getting a new headlight setup, as well as the foglights. On rallylights.com, I've been looking @ the H3 bulbs, and it seems there is now a high performance yellow bulb made for foglights, they're called "Extreme Yellow Xenon H3 Bulbs". I personally like the yellow foglight look, has anyone heard anything about those bulbs? If not, what do you guys like? I was also looking into the Hella Xenon blue bulbs as well.

I have the 55W Luminic's Yellow Bulbs from eBay, they are okay, but they seem a little bit underpowered to me.

Here's a pic:

You cant just install higher wattage bulbs. I believe 55w bulbs are what the wiring and fuse system were desgined for. If you want to run higher wattage bulbs in stock lights of any kind keep in mind the Heat they generate may melt things, the power they draw may blow fuses and toast wires.

Its gonna be hard to find a review because they JUST came out.
Hella contacted me about a month ago telling me about them. Since I dont sell halogens, I didnt really care but I did find it intersting. Worth a shot at that price. And I must disagree with the PIAA Ion bulbs, I cant stand those. Go Narva if you want a coated bulb like that, but I think HElla might be a great choice for the price.

Johnathan, have you driven with the yellow bulbs in rain or fog yet?, I have used the 55w ers in all my fog lights over the years and thats where they really come alive since yellow light passes through water droplets unlike white light which bounces around the inside of them before exiting.
