[Jersey Stephen]

[Mikey @ DTM]

H11 are the Fogs. show the link that you're looking at ECS so we can help

[whitevdub]

dont get from ecs. go with PIAA ion yellow. the color is a pure yellow light and it looks sick. thats what i have

[mrmeth90]

ECS ZiZa Pure Yellow

[Sly Raskal]

The ECS bulbs look much richer in color than the piaa IMO, but I wouldn't say they are necessarily "more" yellow than the piaa. Any pics of the piaa's on a darker evening like the other pics?

[UGwagen]

why not get yellow lamin-x? You'll never have to worry about reduced lifespans of aftermarket yellow bulbs AND regular replacement bulbs are cheaper.

because that changes the look of the car even with the lights turned off.

So? It's personal preference.

Agreed, I was answering your question with my opinion on the subject matter.

[fusionx]

I have brand new never opened yellow lamin-x covers if your interested.

[SGVA4]

lol, it turns into a FS thread!

I would go with Piaa for the quality but Luminics yellow are decent as well

[RedS-line]

the yellow fogs gig is getting old. its very boy-racer on some cars and barely makes the cut on ours. im considering getting rid of mine for some hid-match ones. if you go yellow dont go super yellow. youll thank me later

i went to piaa and theres no buy out for the yellow fogs http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H11.html

eBay is your friend.

Here's a search for yellow h11 piaa bulbs (our cars do use the h11 bulb for the fogs?)

How do you remove the fog lights to put the new bulbs in ??

[Jersey Stephen]

if you have a non sline bumper you have to take of the bumper but if you have a sline you just pop out the side grills

[Phrost]

Fogs are H11 bulbs.

I have ECSTuning's Ziza bulbs. Just as yellow as I wanted them to be (visibility is WAY better) and I've had zero problems with them.

[supamannn99]

how do you pop out the side grilles on an s-line? is it the little hole next to the foglight

[Jersey Stephen]

i dont have a sline but i think you just pull them out

[Alkemix]

When you pop out the fog grills, on the Sline, you can pull together the top tabs like an accordion on the open grill section, that should help you release the 2 major tabs holding it in place. Super easy. I just pretty much yanked it out the first time and it's pretty pliable to that abuse.

[Alkemix]

BTW... i recommend the xenonmatch... although I would rather not see EVERY single person with the xenmatch and some super yellows to be diverse would be nice... but i think Xenonmatch > Yellow Bulbs. My $0.02!

do you also have yellow overlay or no?

[whitevdub]

yeah in this pic i do...since then i've taken it off and it is just as yellow..recommend the piaa's

[AWDTURBO]

yea i'm probably going with your same setup .. yellow lamin-x with the piaa bulb :)

even though you don't have the lamin-x anymore

Question:

What wagcom setting do you use (I tried but it didn't work) to have only the fog ON

[stifler474]

i got the xenon match ones from hoen :) there great!

[gaogi]

dont get from ecs. go with PIAA ion yellow. the color is a pure yellow light and it looks sick. thats what i have

How did you get turn signals to not turn on with your headlights?

[stifler474]

vag-com i believe.

[Phrost]

Question: What wagcom setting do you use (I tried but it didn't work) to have only the fog ON

I have the "coming home" feature, and all I did for the picture was lock and unlock my car while it was off to get the fogs and tailights only to light up. I don't think there is a vagcom option to run only fogs, as cool as that would be

[jbish4]

anybody know where to pick up the xenonmatch fog light bulbs??

vag-com i believe.

Awesome. Searched the forum and recoded via VAG. This is one of the main reasons I got e-codes on my B6. This saved a few hundred dollars for my B7! Now it's time to get those corners cleared...
