.Catalyst. Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I searched for Hoen bulbs all over for the 05-06 H3 style projector fog bulbs with no luck. The 07+ 9006 bulbs can be found pretty easily. Seems the H3 version was discontinued My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 My 20 dollar Eurolite Yellow H3 bulbs work as well as my 90 dollar 'jdm' PIAA yellow bulbs. (not that I paid 90 bucks for them) Food for thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Where can we find these Hoen bulbs for the LGT? same fitment as a mk5 vw gti. 9006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 however, if the fitment is different from 05-07 to the 08-09 then i'm not sure what it would be. i have an 08 and the 9006 fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItalianLegacy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 5000k morimoto on top and the fogs are 3000k diode dynamic they are super bright yellow at night ill take a pic for u tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprezsing04 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Does anyone have pictures of yellow bulbs in their fogs I have 3000k HIDs and they arnt quite as yellow as I hoped I would like to get them like a Lexus fog yellow most lexus fogs use a regular halogen with a yellow capsule over it. I guess to mimic this, you would get the capsule or a lamin-x film Here ya go..nokya 2500k yellow bulbs I have the nokya's in my DRL/high beam and I am happy. They are pretty bright. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/08-replaced-my-drl-high-yellow-halogen-bulbs-186702.html?p=4603827#post4603827 My 20 dollar Eurolite Yellow H3 bulbs work as well as my 90 dollar 'jdm' PIAA yellow bulbs. (not that I paid 90 bucks for them) Food for thought.... i had PIAA's too at first. what a waste of a good $90. they were yellow on the road, but not out of the lenses I tried Hella Yellow (which were really bright but white when you looked at them, they only illuminated the road yellow). But not yellow as on-coming traffic would see I have also tried PIAA's which were decent but at some angles gave off a purple reflection Mtec yellow bulbs were by far the most dull I have had Nokya's in my fogs in my old RS and they are bright. I put 3000k HID's in my '08 fogs and they were really bright but at some angles looked green. Now I have Hoen's in my fogs. The Nokya's matched the HID's closest to output, intensity. The Hoen's matched the HIDs the most in terms of yellow-ness I cant seem to find any of my hid's from last year but here are my Hoen's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminics were pretty bad imo lol http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z314/imprezsing04/IMG_2994.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z314/imprezsing04/IMG_2993.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z314/imprezsing04/IMG_3101.jpg ...these were my nokyas on my old car. Way better than luminics But HIDs are a good route. Finding a place to mount the ballast is probably the hardest part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted October 10, 2013 I Donated Share Posted October 10, 2013 I got nokya yellow lights for my high beams and 3k fogs from ddm. Pair those with 4300k low beams and there is lots of light. More when I finish putting led lights behind my grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diode Dynamics Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Luminics are terrible quality. I had them on my Mustang and the brights stopped working after the first week. Not only that, they were super dim and unsafe to drive at night. Huge difference when I put my HID's in, finally felt safe driving at night again lol Nick C. John C.

tDoug60 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Is it possible to run a orange/amber bulb legally or only yellow? And if you want functionality + the color what's the best to go with.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2 I think legally you can run amber in the front. as long as you dont run red in the front. ppl will think there are seeing your rear. I believe yellow is best for fog because of its higher wavelengths so it can break thru the fog better. amber would do it too. actually amber has a higher wavelength than yellow actually...

Diode Dynamics Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You can't run red anywhere on the front of your car, but amber/yellow shouldn't give you any trouble. White can be used, just not for a turn signal. That's why we designed switchbacks for most cars Nick C. John C. Diode Dynamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 hmmmmm.... all this luminacs bashing I will say they are not what they used to be. When I had my RSX back in 04 They worked flawlessly on my fog and brights. Worked for a solid 2 years before selling them with the car. These ones on my leggy though didn't work so well. Lasted about 3 months. What HID kits do you guys suggest? I know they have to be 55w since the fogs run on that unless I am mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboboost Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Installed the DD 3k fog light kit (no relay) on my 08 LGT. Easy install, warms up quickly, no flickering whatsoever. The stock vertical alignment on the fogs were laughably low (useless) - angled them upwards slightly, but not so high as to blind oncoming traffic. Very happy with the color and output - highly recommended. Hopefully, the 3M double-sided tape will hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, I had a 35W kit before my Hoens for the fogs and they worked. I figured headlight is 55W and ppl do 35W. You just use your stock plug for signal when to come on right? I put my ballast into the bracket and ziptied it to the tow hook on one side and stuck the other in the fender. Double sided taping it down there scared me.

turboboost Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 35W for fogs. I also used a 35W TRS Morimoto bi-xenons for headlights (with relay). I've read some reviews about melted housings when using a 55W long-term - they may have been isolated incidences, but I went with the 35W just in case, to avoid any issues in the future. And yes, used the stock plug for signal; the wiring was very self-explanatory. As for mounting, the TRS ballasts had taken all the prime real estate to fasten anything in, so I cleaned off the top of the fog light housings (on the backside of the front bumper), heated up the adhesive, and firmly pressed/mounted the ballasts directly on top. It's stuck on there pretty well - I couldn't budge it after the adhesive cooled, so.. fingers crossed. I owe some pictures to Paul, so the next time I take off the bumper, I'll snap a few pictures of where I placed everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diode Dynamics Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 We only carry 35 watt ballasts because the heat generated by 55 watt kits tends to destroy housings. Admittedly, the 55 watt kits have more output, but it's not worth the risk IMO. Morimoto kits are very high quality, but they are also considerably more expensive. PM me if you need more information about our kits, they start at $89 Thanks! Nick C. John C. Diode Dynamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
