Has anyone converted the factory fog lights to either Zenon or HID? They seem to pale in comparison to the headlights and I would like them to be brighter.

So maybe just some brighter, whiter bulbs? Any suggestions?

Why? Did you drive in fog and felt like your fog lights lacked power? Or it just for the looks?

Then you need some "superbright" bulbs from Sylvania or the likes. They wont last as long as conventional halogens, but will produce more "white" light. Or you can buy "super-blue" tuner bulbs, put some VTEC and RECARO stickers, and we'll have first ricer LR3 in the group

I've been wondering about this too, has anyone done the conversion yet? I also admit its purely for looks, but it doesnt make sense to have brilliant blue-white HIDs and then have yellow fog lights. We dont toss around different color paints on the body, why different color lights (Im not counting the rubber fenders as paint here). I had the same issue with my Acura CL's "Driving Lamps", I did change those out myself and put in the ultrawhites with pretty good results. Reading the owners manual, the foglight install seems a lil tricky, with recs to have the aim of the bulb adjusted by a dealer. I was wondering if anyone has done this themselves, or even just replaced a blown foglight bulb, wondering how easy it was and if that adjustment was really needed. There are a couple of auctions for HIDs and ultrawhite bulbs on e bay... Thanks for the info.
