PIAA H8 Plasma Ion Yellow Fogs

I don't usually post pics of my installs, but through some research there wasn't a whole lot of images posted about these bulbs. In fact only found one person that showed them off.

So I put a set in today and here is mine. Love these bulbs.
Photos are straight out of camera. No adjustments. Probably not the best spot to show them off in the driveway and being that it just got down raining.

Stock fog bulb on passenger side, PIAAs on driver side.


Hard to get pic with the xenons on.







Inside car with fogs and xenons; sorry no wide angle.

With just xenons.

Just fogs.


Just fogs.

Looks nice. I went cheapo with the Nokya H8 hyper yellow. I was thinking of switching to this one but might go with the PIAA whites.

Hard to say. My xenons are really bright and even with the stock lights i didn't see much filler light from the fogs while both were turned on. You can tell a very slight fill in and hue change since they are 2500k; you will see a hint of yellow mixed into your xenons, but it's really not that noticeable. Now that all the wildfire smoke cleared out of Florida the past few days I will not get much of a chance to try the fogs out in thick smoke/haze/fog since i got them after it cleared out. I think it's probably more of a look mod unless you are solely using the fogs without the headlights. Then yes you can clearly notice a difference. As you can see from the pics in the first post these things are reaaalllyyy yellow. I do love the golden look up against my blue.

Compare the two images with the headlights inside the car to see what i mean about the slight hue change, and filler light. It's very slight; at least paired with xenons it is. No idea how they would look with halogens.
