Hey Everyone,

I want to convert my fogs, low beams and high beams to hid's , any idea what bulb type each of them are?

I looked in the manual , but I'm confused because i thought the high beam and running lights were the same bulb but they are showing up as different in the manual.

Help?

Thanks!

Go to lighting and read the bulb # FAQ guide.

H11 Fogs, H11 Low Beams. You shouldn't get HID high beams as they're also your DRLs. For DRL/High Beams your best option is to stick with whiter halogen bulbs (Nokya Arctic White, etc.). You can also opt for LED DRLs but that takes away the high beam function.

You can also look in your owners manual.

+1. You can get LEDs for the drl/high beams but the technology isn't really there yet.

Thanks!!!


I can't find an interior bulb list anywhere, it doesnt even list them in the manual, dome lights ect. Also I'm looking for the license plate bulb type.
