Default After recent fog and snow, swapped out OEM fog bulbs.

Went back to the Nokya 2300K yellow 55w I have run for years on my cars. What a difference. It really helps if you have small fingers to change them out. Not that bad though. If you do try them, make sure you do not get the higher wattage as you might melt the housing or a wire. My experience over the years using them, the best bright yellow weather fog you can get. Hope this helps somebody.

I use the PIAA yellow ion crystal bulbs, but I agree that nothing cuts thru thick fog like a good yellow light.

No pictures, but can tell you these bulbs are the best option for the overpriced PIAA. And in Colorado, they work just perfect. H7 for mine and not sure if it is H3 for the non Xenon option. Use your tool kit and easy swap, or any long 5mm hex bolt.

Pay Porsche, I am sure they will charge at least $50 labor. PM me if you need install tips. Also, if you do get Nokya or PIAA...make sure they are the real ones...and never go over 55W or you will melt something...costing you more money. Just my 2 cents.

Also, do not drive with yellow fogs on in daytime or no fog...makes the cops mad and laws are different state by state. If you run LAMIN-X yellow tint....you are asking for problems and messing with the lights. Just my opinion.
