front fog light bulbs

In the manual these have a very long and unusual reference part no. are there any suitable upgrade bulbs that fit that have the xenon look?

I believe 9005 is the number for the replacement. I went with Luminics to match my HID's. Here's a thread that I made..check it out:

one bulb is a 9005, one is a 9006. i believe 9005 is the fog light replacement and the other number is the headlight replacement.

i put silverstars in mine. i backed up my driveway, which has a little bit of an incline to it, so the pictures would come out better.

the fogs seem brighter than my headlights, which have hella light bulbs in them. i think its due to the design of the fog light's reflector, which was designed to accomodate a 42 watt bulb, not a much brighter 55 watt bulb.

The Lumincs are 65W. They seem to be doing all right. Although, I did recently order 6500K HID's for the fogs. I wanted the match/ light output to be exact.
