Default replacement foglights

i saw a c6 with these foglight bulbs that totally match the color of our xenons. does anyone know were i can purchase these bulbs?
also would you guys know if they come in yellow or not? thanks

just installed them and
these lights totally suck. they do not look anything like my xenons. they look exactly like the stock ones except brighter and more dull yellow. save your money and dont buy the hoen foglights.

your right i did order the wrong fog lamps. the new ones should arrive next week. hopefully they look good and i will stop bitching

Has anyone replaced their HIGH BEAMS ALSO with the Hoen bulbs? They're supposed to be much brighter than OEM...

Yes... have Hoen for high beams and driving (fog) lights..very much the match of the xenon head lights and a major improvement. Hoen sells the set (driving and high beams) at a discounted price...go to their web site

Do you have the model # on the high beams?
(I'm guessing the fogs are Model H10)

H9. Go to the website "start" page. Look for " lighting packages" bottom left to get the deal.

Default When you put in these higher performance bulbs do you also have to upgrade the

electrical system as well with realys thicker wiring etc. Or can you just plug em in as replacements and use the existing factory wiring set up?

These are yellow bulbs. I've never seen them in person though...Any daring soul want to give these bulbs a try?

BTW they are 45w...what are the stock C6 fogs?

According to the Hoen website - new performance vehicles already have the heavy-duty wiring. The Fog Lamps are factory wattage, only they are 4,000K color, instead of the yellow-ish factory lights.

Default In my 72 Coupe I put in Cibies and H-1 100 watt high beams with the factory wiring

Forget that it blew a fuse in a second when I switch to high beams (all 4 lights on). These are those quartz halogens headlights that have a superior lens and bulb back in the 80's.

Default So they are plug ins using the existing wiring of the C-6.

If there are yellow fog lights that are bright enough to cut the fog I would buy them especially if they are just plug ins.

Default they suck

i just installed them and looked at them in the daylight and they dont look a thing like my xenons. but before i pass complete judgement i will look at them again at night. i can already tell that they have a yellowish tint to them that make them look cheap. im pissed. these are not the ones that i saw on that c6 i was talking about. they had no tint of yellow they were all blue..

Fog lights should be yellow/amber. White light scatters too much in the fog and blinds you, defeating the purpose of fog lights.
