PIAA H8 Fog Lights for '07 R56

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask around to see if anyone has successfully installed these on their R56 Mini:

Amazon.com: PIAA 18535 H8 Plasma Ion Yellow Bulb - Twin Pack: Automotive Amazon.com: PIAA 18535 H8 Plasma Ion Yellow Bulb - Twin Pack: Automotive

I'm looking to buy them along with new lamps (as mine have corroded) and am open for suggestions. I personally want to go the Yellow route as up here in Montreal they are a great help in the snow.

Cheers,

If all you want is the yellow h8 bulb, there are much cheaper options. Look on Amazon for h8 bulbs. I got mine for around $8.

I have those, and I have the PIAA H13 Xtreme white for my headlights. I really like them. Very bright and high quality. I will be buying them again.

You get what you pay for!

I have the PIAA in yellow, including the PIAA white headlight halogens.

Perfect! Yeah I've had my experience with low quality bulbs in the past. Never agai. I think these would go well with the bi-xenons.

Been using Nokya yellow bulbs in our clubman fogs for 4 years. They do everything the PIAA bulbs do except cost as much. Just my .02 on my bulbs. Motor on!

4 years ashchuckton?!?! I went through 2 sets within a year so I gave up and went with these. I really wanted the piaas because I knew it was the right color that I wanted but thought it was too much $$$
