Just replaced mine a couple of days ago......go to O'reilly auto parts and get the Sylvania Silver Stars.....You'll love them. About $20.00 each.

Use #885 bulbs in your fog lights. They are 50 watts verses stock 35 watts. Also re-aim them.

I have used this setup for 2 years, I always use foglights with low beams, no problems. I have blown one bulb in past 2 years.

Definitely.

I guarantee that you WILL BE VERY PLEASE with the light output of the Piaa 1100X lamps. If you are not happy with them, you can send them back to me.

Regular price is $244, and our sale price is $169.99

Changing the bulb is tough. What all must be removed to put the PIAAs in?
