Default Foglamps

Anyone have an answer for this? My 225QC has standard H3 55w bulbs for the foglamps, I assume. Of course, as most of you know, they're pretty much useless. So what can I replace them with that are better? How about PIAA's 55w H3 Super Plasma ones? Anyone know if they're much better? Thanks!

Default they are fantastic...they match up well w/ the HIDs>

don't touch the bulb when installing though, they can blow early if you do.

Default sorry...I don't have any>

If you look under the hood...towards the front of the car,behind the headlight assembly, you will see a gray ovalish cover that's about 3 inches tall. This twists off, giving access to the back of the bulb.

There's a springlike wire, described in the previous post, that secures the bulb in place. Undo this, then disconnect the wire.

I personally didn't remove the black cover around the edge the hood, but that may give easier access to the area.

Sorry I couldn't help more...hopfully this makes some sense.
