HID look halogen fog lamp bulbs do not give error messages, as long its the correct wattage i.e. 55W. The issue was finding that right color...

Did you check out the color-coded painted front license plate mount...they have one in arktis. I am dying to see this ona light colored cars (dark colored cars need not apply) I think it helps clear up the front end.

I know this is probably a blast from the past for you... but I'm looking at buying the same bulbs. My only concern is bulb life, I know other hyperwhite bulbs only last 12-15 months.

How long did yours last for?

Appreciate the help!

Haha. Blast from the past is right man. I probably got close to two years w them. I ended up putting the m3 rep bumper and had to change fog bulbs to a different style number anyways. But go for it man. They're cheap and easy enough to change if they burn out. Definitely not long life bulbs like oem but hey what do you expect for aftermarket bulbs.

Some of the other brands (Sylvannia) burn out within 12-15 months... I was hoping to get 24+ months, so it looks like this could be promising.
I ended up just putting in standard replacements (from Canadian Tire - $22/pair). Not sure how long life those are (might be long since they aren't extra bright), but my next replacements will be these.

Thanks!
