I think the fog is an H3 in the BF2, if I remember correctly the brighter you go the bluer it gets, just to do with the light spectrum or something but could be wrong. If you stay away from bulbs that are coloured blue you should be right.

So was it worth it? Was the light dispersion better?

Wasn't kern on doing all three, just the main beam.

If you have any tips or recall anything I should look out for please let me know :)

Well its been about a week since I swapped the bulbs out and I'm stoked. The light is way whiter and brighter and the high beams are unreal. Something I learned doing this was that the light is brightest between 4300-5000k, from then on it's mainly for looks as the light turns blue and even purple.

Hi All,

I just put Philips X-Treme +100% H4 60/55W Lows & H7 55W Highs in My FG G6 last week.

They are a whiter light when compared to the factory foggies & parkers(as philips don't make a H11 in X-Treme range), but there is no Kelvin rating on box so not sure how white they are.

Driving home on sat night the Lows are definetly brighter( not sure about +35M as claimed) & the Highs WOW they're bright & I would say go further than +35M. Spotted a roo on the side way earlier than usual & when I got home I realised that my eyes weren't as sore or tired as usual(from straining to see wildlife e.t.c) so am really happy with them.

I got them off ebay seller name blingwork for $69.99 posted as they are not avail yet from Autobarn(only X-Treme +80% are avail from there)

Dissapointed that you can't get H11 for fogs, but he told me he has Osram Nightbreaker H11 which are $79+post these are +90% and 10% whiter so am considering this option at the moment.

Have ordered some T10 SMD LEDs as the stock parker bulbs now look pus with the whiter H4's.

I decided against the HID path as from what I had read they throw a different light pattern and I lost confidence in going that way, also have seen some have issues with ballasts e.t.c. and sometimes they will turn on and sometimes only 1 will turn on e.t.c.

Only my 2 cents worth, if it is of any help.

cheers. :)

Its also bad to turn HIDs on and off quickly so if you had your lights set to auto and say drove through a short tunnel or anything similar that makes the lights go on and off it apparently buggers them.

Just found out that Osram Nightbreaker globes are being realesed in AUS in a few weeks but are going to be sold through supercheap as NARVA NB(as nightbreaker name is patented in AUS and can't be used).

they are supposed to be 90% more light and whiter colour temp(Kelvin) is

3600K for H4 low beam 60/55W (fit BA/F,FG )

3400K for H7 High Beam 55W (fit BA/F,FG)

3500K for H11 55W(FG Fog)

Standard colour is about 3000K

They are going to be available in H3 also(for BA/F fog)but not sure of K

When avail will try some H11's & Let you know how they go.

I just put a full set of philips blue vision in my car, they look great and put out a heap more light. More of a white light than a blue and the bulbs look almost clear in the daylight.
