Hoen xenonmatch vs OEM fog light bubls ( pics)

Just swapped the OEM fog light bulbs to HOEN Xenonmatch halogen bulbs. Really impressed how much whiter the bulbs are, it almost matches the HID's. Swap was a breeze and results were beyond my expectations. A pair goes for $29.99 through HOEN official web site which redirects you to one of their vendors. Fast shipping, very pleased.

OEM yellow'ish fog light bulbs with HID's.




Hoen xenonmatch halogen fog light bulbs.

Dan:

Looks impressive! Reminds me on my current Hella Bulbs I'm running in my truck, which provide a nice, clean light. Much better than OEM color temperature. The Hella's are usually similar to the Osram Silverstar Ultra, and are priced around $ 45/pair.

Sounds like the Hoen bulbs are a winner!


(Did you have to remove the whole grille assembly to get to the fog lights?)

Yep, but it takes only 5 minutes to remove the little plastic shields that are holding the plastic cover.

Dan, looks great!

Do they offer any to fit the non-HID headlights?

Jason... already had to check their website, thanks to Dan... Looks like they offer sets for the fog lights and the non-HID halogen lights as well..

For that price, I'll upgrade both lights (fog and headlights)! They look really very comparable to the Hella's and Silverstar Ultras.

Foglamps = Bulb H10
Headlights (non-HID) = Bulb 9008 (H13)


Looks like even they have it on their fitment guide, you can't order them yet... maybe not released yet?

I have H.I.D.'s on my V-6. My fog lights look yellow also. Would part number H11 be the right ones to order for me?

glad to hear it was a breeze to install!

When you get around to it, could you possibly take a picture of them when it's actually night time?
And maybe not a dead on frontal shot... that way to see the similarities a bit better?

No rush!

David, i think you'd need the H10 as well, but maybe you should ask them what would be the right part # for your application.

Its raining in Tennessee too LOL!!! I ordered the H11. The owners manual says H11 is the part number for the V-6 fog lights. My bulbs should be smaller than the ones the G.T. uses. Maybe?

They look good. If I ever used my fog lights I would consider these bulbs.

Well thx for pointing me in the right directions. I really like the look of the new bulbs. Thing is the picture doesn't do them justice.

I know. The pictures I have of them on my 6 don't do them justice either. Seeing them in person at night makes them all worthwhile.

Yah I was thinking the same thing. What's the difference between the other options mentioned earlier in this thread though? Any significant quality difference?
