Headlights/Foglights/Side Marker Lights.... Confused!
#1

Looking at TTStuff.com's various headlight/fog/marker upgrades - very confused at the difference between all of them.
I want to upgrade my HID lights to something brighter. Much brighter. They currently arent terribly bright. Friends Lincoln Navigator is like 4x brighter. I like a bluish or blue tint, but whatever is best.
Same goes for fog lights.
Markers: which bulbs are for side markers? They have like 3 kinds of bulbs under the side marker category that look totally different.
Or should I shop elsewhere for upgrades?

Has your car been lowered? you may need to have the dealer re-adjust your lights for you. They shouldn't charge you, as long as you are under the scheduled maintenance.
I agree with you about the foglights - they are useless![Smile](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Sidemarkers use the small wedge bulbs

I make Side Marker replacement bulbs from Ultra-Bright White LED's.
Very bright White/Blue, mimics the HID's.

i like both...
you can get the 130w h3s from jcwhitney... they're cheap... non-tinted bulbs...
i think the real problem is that we have something in our headlight housing that blocks half the beam, right? thats why we can't see anything in the distance?

the 130W? Is it safe for the wiring, etc. The problem with the 100w that I have used is they're extremely short life. I always make sure NOT to touch them and use rubbing alcohol on a small cloth to insure that they are clean, but they last only a couple months at best.

I thought the fog lights were total crap until I
put in some PIAA'S.I went with the XTREME WHITE PLUS. still not the greatest fog lights but great improvement. At least now you can tell that they're on.
