Hi all have done a search but can't really find a definitive answer, was just wondering what type bulbs I need for the front fogs on my 97 pfl leggie just that the main headlight bulbs are xenons and the fogs are standard so just wanted some to match any help greatly appreciated
Cheers in advance

Will be interesting to see that Amesh, am quite happy with the xenons but am always open to new ideas what's involved in fitting a HID kit mate as I don't think I've ever seen a car with them fitted

There was me thinking that the leggie had just had some xenon bulbs put in until i was having a nosey under the bonnet and noticed these (2nd pic) sure there for the headlights coz there's one either side with wires going to the headlights i assume these are a HID setup (as they say HID on them) and the dipped beam looks awesome
But the thing is that the high beam and the fogs are still standard, pics are not the best took them with my phone
Was wondering if there is any way of making them all look the same without installing 2 more HID kits for the fogs and the full beam
any help would be greatly appreciated
cheers in advance
Dennis

You could try using a "whiter" bulb, to try and get the look of HID in your fogs / Main beam?
Not done it myself so cant say how near you can get - depends on what you want to spend? Osram Xenons are up to £30 a pair,

Or you could try these off ebay £10/pair?

Thanks for the reply Marc the only thing is that the hid bulbs actually shine purple so could do with some purple bulbs, I've seen some cheap hid kits on eBay but not sure what 6000k, 8000k etc means. Does that mean the bulb colour or something else and if it is the bulb colour what numbers mean what colour bulbs
Cheers again

Yea, generally the higher the number the "bluer" the colour checkout the colour chart below, just be careful that photos are only an approximation

You could try some cheaper option blue tint bulbs for a "HID Look"

Thanks again Marc you're a legend think im gonna order two hid kits, 1 for the fogs and 1 for the high beam with the 12000k bulbs as they look the closest to what I've got already
Thanks mate

.... and 1 for the high beam with the 12000k bulbs ....

Carefull with the High beams, I'm not sure if you can "Flash" with HID as the bulbs need a bit of time to warm up

That's a very good point might just leave the high beams as they are then, i don't really use the high beam at the moment coz the dipped hid beam actually seems brighter than the standard high beam
