HID or blue/white colored foglights

TractionControl=OFF · 11-05-2014, 01:58 PM

i was wondering if its possible to change the foglight oem color with a headlight matching color. The yellow foglights with bluish white headlights looks weird

thank u

Yes, easily, just look for the correct bulb online and something more in line with the color you need.

Any ideas what the correct bulb is? This is a mod I would also like to complete.

+1, does anyone know what exactly to buy? OEM standards?

I just installed some GP thunder 7500K. its a very easy install. just need to remove the wheel housing cover, twist the bulb, and it comes out

the bulb you need is an H8

Tell us more about the GP thunder 7500, are the more white, more blue, do they make a similar bulb, halogen for those of us with Halogens. Are happy with them and I take it no warning lights.

Its an H8 bulb. I don't think HIDs will work. I tried putting them in my F02 and the wiring couldn't give the ballasts enough power to ignite them. And trying to use a relay harness failed because it only uses 1 light as a turn on lead, so the other light always showed as out in the OBC. Ended up putting LUX H8 LEDs in the 750 and using those same bulbs in the 335GT when it gets here.
