55 watt yellow fog bulbs

[definingmoment]

Anyone know where to find yellow fog bulbs that actually run at the 55w recommended wattage? Not some PIAAs or Eurolites that run at 110+ in real life.

I got the Nokya ones that claim to output the equivalent light of an 80W bulb, but are stamped as 55W on the bulb.

I've had them for a couple months, keep them running whenever my headlights are on, even while sitting still in stop and go traffic every day...no problems as of yet.

I was worried about them at first, and did a small temp comparison between them and stock K2 bulbs after leaving them on for 10 minutes parked in my garage. The Nokyas burned slightly hotter (about 30 degrees F hotter), but I don't think it's enough to cause problems.

Anyone else?

yeah im pretty worried about mines right now. I just put in fogs today, and put the piaas, and they get real hot. I guess I'll see if they burn a fuse or the wire.

I saw this, but thanks 30 degrees more then stock is too much for me.

[Mabuz]

Well if it makes you feel any better, stock bulbs burned at about 275 degrees F, Nokyas burned at about 310 degrees F (after being on for 10 minutes with the car parked). On this scale, it's not that big of a difference.

The bulbs I have are labled at 55W, and have caused no problems after two months of heavy usage.

Just trying to answer your question.

^ thanks for that!!

i also have the nokiaa yellaow lights for my highbeams.After about 5 months
it short circuit my whol car.As in my interior lights would be dim.and 3 rear lights burned out.

[definingmoment]

^ thanks, that's why I dont wanna chance it.

[FijiSan]

yeah but he's talking about a different wattage of bulb entirely, the highbeam bulbs are GONNA run hotter, assuming he used them as much as some people talk about using their bulbs

Bump on this, still looking, anyone?

If you're only worried about your car's wiring being damaged by the excessive wattage, use a wiring harness (you can easily make one with some lose wire and a 12 volt relay). The power for the lights will be taken directly from the battery via any gauge wire you decide to use for your harness, the factory harness will only supply enough power to trip the relay, so you'll be pulling much less power through the factory harness than the factory 55 watt bulbs.

If you're worried about damaging your fog housing, an extra 30 deg F isn't going to melt/burn your housings, but if you're really worried and don't want to take a chance, get a pnp HID (35 watt) kit off ebay, then you can get tru 3000k, less heat from the bulbs, and a wiring harness specifically designed for the H11 bulbs.

hope this helps

All I really wanna know is where to get H11 bulbs that are yellow and actually burn at 55w, its a straight forward question. I appreciate everyones help, I'm just not wanting to mess with harnesses and relays.

[definingmoment]

Seriously, is the NO ONE on this site who knows where to get these?

[GETxERxDONE]

luminix bulbs have some at 55w, look for some on ebay because i dont know of any sites that have them.

[sh33t_0f_p4p3r]

i see lots of people on here with nokya yellow highs, and havent seen a problem so far

I don't know about that though, I have checked luminix bulbs and they are listed at 55w but they burn hotter then that. Like twice as hot.
