Help, looking for BRZ Fog Lights replacement bulb
 
3 Attachment(s)
Need some help here. I am looking for a simple bulb upgrade for my foglights, to make them white.

I am looking at three different types of bulbs on ebay:

Which one of this is a direct fit? Which on of these would be the brightest? The first one describes its Lumens as 300 (compared to 1100 for OEM Halogen). Is it that there is no white light capable of the same output as yellow OEM?

Interested in the results. This is something I planned on addressing in the future.

I saw that, not interested in spending any money in replacing my current fog light housing just looking for a simple bulb replacement.

I bought those second ones - super cheap - five bux shipped. They worked great

Are they bright enough to serve there purpose as fog lights?

Did you guys have to do anything besides replace the bulbs? I've read that some plastic had to be trimmed off in the housing.

I went ahead and ordered #2 from my first post. I looked at Draco-Rex conversion to LED in his car, and saw the plastics that need to be trimmed, it looks to be very basic stuff. When I get them I'll update this thread with exact info.

I believe what you have to trim is a small nub on the bulb mounting plastic, not the housing.

Correct, it's very easy. All you need is a razor blade.

Great, thanks for the clarification! I went with the 3rd option.

The stock fog lights are horrible. With any bulb you try to do. Trust me, I've tried 3 types.

I second that by doing the Fog Light Conversion. Damn bright now with Hoen Enduro bulbs - despite the $200 conversion cost. :)
