Default stock fog lights

After reading on here about using 9005 bulbs for fog lights I went to CT an got some for mine, sylvania extravision { I think $ 25.} They are brighter and they light up more to the side of the road. I think they work great and it was worth the money, especially this time of year.

Could have gone with HID's for about the same price.

I spent $47 replacing my headlight bulbs and foglights with Sylvania Silverstar Ultras two months after I bought my 3rd Gen new off the lot and thought they were a MAJOR difference. The stockers sucked b*lls and I noticed it the very first night I drove.

I dunno why it cost you $100 since I walked into my local auto parts store and I dunno how you couldn't tell the difference. I thought the difference was like night/day myself. Almost seven years later, same bulbs are in there, still working...

Headlights $49.99 a pair. Foglights 21.99 each, so close to 100 and thats just my opinion about the brightness, I dont know why either. Maybe I should put my old ones back in and drive for awhile to compare, or maybe I was expecting much more for the money it cost me.

Yep Canadian Tire.

I put Hella's in my headlights for $65. Lordco

driving/fog lights from " CT" was $ 29.00 for pair, couldn't remember when I posted, went an looked.

IMOA the lights are a lot brighter than stock an the fog/driving lights more to the side which is great, an I've been out at dark pissing down rain an they are great.

That's what I was saying. They only warranty them for 1 year.
