I was always a fan of the "JDM" yellow fog light look and finally found a bulb that was yellow enough to satisfy my needs. Hoen USA endurance bulbs. I know most people prefer the fogs to match the HIDS but I like separating the two and the fact that yellow fogs are indeed better in fog situations. They also definitely look better than the stock bulbs, that's for sure. Here's a sample during the day, once i get a chance to take a better picture during the night, I will.

Yeah, that pic doesn't really sell them for me... These look like low-power DRLs. Definitely need to see how bright they are at night.

I need to stop using my phone to take pictures but I guarantee these are the best yellow bulbs without using HIDs on the market.

That pic looks better... how much did you pay for them and where'd you buy them?

H11 Endurance 55W

Price shipped to me was $48

The pic they used with the Audi is what they really look like on the CX-9, which is the picture I have been trying to capture. Ha.

I believe stock is 55W. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't had any issues regardless.

Stock bulb is 35W. Really should use a relay power harness if you're going to use 55W bulbs.

35W? most aftermarket HID's run at 35W

but owner's manual says OEM foglight is a 55W H11 halogen type bulb :





you can get an aftermarket HID bulb into the OEM foglight houseing but you'll need to push the shroud out of the way

otherwise you'll crack the HID ceramic tube :
