Double checking on high beam & fog bulb types and brands before purchase.
I have an 04 AR w/ OEM xenon headlamps and updated Phillips 5000k xenon bulbs.
I am looking to replace my high beam bulbs and fog light bulbs. I want to check that I have the correct bulb type before I order.
High beams are H7
Fogs are H3
Are these all standard wattages, meaning if I order an H7 it will be a set wattage and I don't have to worry about it?
Ideally I want to get my high beams closer to my xenons (I have 5000k Phillips...really white). What's the best to use here? With the highs I'm mostly doing this for aesthetics.
For the fogs I want something yellow and VERY effective as I drive in fog a good bit and the stock bulbs seem like crap. What are the best for this? I was planning on getting either the SPP or Hoen, but I'm open to better suggestions as I don't really know what's proven to be best.
Thanks in advance.

Looking at the Phillips website on 2004 AR models, the fogs are H7 55W and the highbeams are H9 65W. I do a lot of winter driving so yellow fogs are appealing.
Just make sure that you get the same wattage so you don't over stress the wiring harness.

looks good, thanks.
we get some crazy fog here in vancouver, and I'm loath to go another year not being able to see. My old explorer had the WORST fog lights. trying to spare no expense on my brakes/vision this year so I don't get hit by some maniac.
