H11 55 Watt Fog Lights?

**petethapitbull** · 06-10-2014 10:10 AM

I've been looking around for a nice set of fogs - I originally purchased the Xenon match Hoen bulbs..and i'm not crazy about them - it's not an exact match and they have more of a blueish tint to them (looks ghetto to me). Has anyone ever used Osram Night Breakers as fogs instead?

I also seen Lumen LED bulbs that claim to be error free - not sure if they have resistors in them (Yes, i'm aware they don't project as well as a regular halogen bulbs - i'm going for the look). Heres the link

What do you guys recommend? What would look best?

Thanks for the recommendation! Do you know of anyone who has them installed with pictures? I'm looking for more of a pure white color rather than a blue, doesnt need to match as long as it looks good with the LED DRL's on at the same time

there has been a lot of reviews on the s4 section. and yea thats the main reason why most went with ziza vs hoen cause it was a pure white match

ill see if i can find it.

Never using my fog lights again lol. Had a set of luminics (same specs as stock), and they clouded the lens and melted the entire fog light housing on each side. Just recently replaced them...
And some guy recently had his hoen's light on fire

I hope these pictures show up well for you. I have more I can post if not. I put in the Ziza fog light bulbs, and I am happy with them. They're not an exact xenon match, but I think they are more like what you are looking for. They are not pure white, but the color is a very faint yellow/orange. It looks better than the stock fogs for sure and is not that hideous blue.

Here's a before and after

Hope that helps.

I've actually heard horror stories of this happening before (on past forums with my previous car the whole front end of the car was engulfed in flames all because of a signal light that got hot and melted the housing to the point it caught on fire) that was my concern and made me extremely nervous about doing LED's as fogs since the resistors get really hot.

Mine are the platinum white.

Here's one of my old housings. Not risk risking that again lol. Plus, I think the fog lights look pretty ugly when lit - no matter the color...

I got the ziza h11 platinum white bulbs in over the weekend and I'm not impressed with them. The color was almost identical to the hoens which had that blue color to them. I just went ahead and purchased a set of osram night breaker unlimited bulbs 3600k.. I will put up some pics once installed

Forget H11, get some H9s, cut a tab, and they fit. 65watts and much better light output.

Have a pair of piaa H8 super whites for sale. Cheap!! Hit me up

**B8 S FOR** · 10-17-2014 10:36 AM

So I have a 2013 S5 Cab B8.5 and Hoen shipped me the H11 Endurance 55w are these correct? I thought somebody said H8s? I specified H8s on my order but he sent me the H11s ? ? ? ? Does Hoen have a customer service number? I could only find an e-mail on their website? Thanks
