where to find foglight xenons?

Are these the same as the headlamp? I been trying to find some on ebay, but it seems the headlights are all listed as foglights..Am I missing something here?

Xenon HID Conversion kits for 02-06 Fog light bulbs are H11's. But you can double check your application here: http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm


I have purchased two kits from this seller in last few years. These are 10 dollars with 39.00 shipping.....( don't ask )

Kits work great. At check out you have to specify bulb size and Color you want. I have 10,000K replacement HD bulbs for low beams so I purchased matching bulbs for Fogs.

I believe if you are looking for a match to your OEM Xenons, you would be looking for something close to the 4500K range.

And a how to ( sorta ) here:

I paid 40 dollars for this Siemens HID kit / shipped. IMO, they beat any of those PIAA bulbs which I have already tried, and these are half the price......

Has anyone installed Xenon fog lights with the transformers inline? These are the ones without having to supply power directly from the battery but instead use the power supplied by the stock harness. I tried to hook mine up before installing them but they would'nt light up. The Parts attendent at the dealership said I have to have them "Programed" into the onboard computer first in order for them to work. Advice please? I own a 2010 Mayfair s. Thank You
