Well, I have ordered the nokya bulbs. I might expect a new install and romp n' stomp session by this weekend (I am shortening the grace period

)

do you think that they will still look good w/ the hyperwhites? and if not what fogs do you think are the closest (after seeing the hyperwhites in person) to the hyperwhite color, i was also thinking about the MTEC's, which are posted on another thread.

thx

Check the market thread of the PMB's... I posted pics of the hyperwhite with same foglights~! hehehe I still like it... It looks meaner... but I think Razo has some more blueish bulbs

Longtran: by functional I meant light output, sorry I wasn't clear

Bavarian19: Hey where in FL are you at? How's the weather? Did you drive down to FL? Do we have access to the elementary school parking lot and I guess we have to see about the weather....btw ordering a pair of Nokya light bulbs as well...

KL2DC · 04-12-2006, 08:18 PM

Is this the correct one: H11 Nokya Arctic White 80W

bavarian19: How blue are your bimmerxenons fog lights? I'll take them off you (for a reasonable price) if you're getting rid of them...I mean its better than stomping on them

Let me know...thanks for beta testing all my lighting products/solutions...

ska///235i · 04-12-2006, 08:38 PM

Nice!!!

LONG...where's mine? Just kidding

I can't wait for my hyperwhites

yujini · 04-12-2006, 08:39 PM

hey krndanic307, was the light output greater for white?
or you just chose white because it was less ricey?

Still considering what to buy for my friends.

mds82 · 04-12-2006, 09:54 PM

I have a set of PIAA H11 White bulbs and they look awesome....!!!

To answer your original question, Im at my parents second place here in FL. Its an active retirement community called The Villages. Great golf and plenty of activities down here. Had a bit of a family reunion. I did drive down, and will be driving back tomorrow starting at 430AM. Should be back in town by 6PM tomorrow.

The bimmerxenons are pretty blue, but my problem is not only the blue, but they are much less powerful now than the stock fogs. I do some serious night driving through the mountains, and I was looking for some brighter fogs that also are color matched.

Well, Im off to bed... long drive ahead tomorrow... (In a rented Ford Focus nonetheless...)

bavarian19 · 04-12-2006, 10:09 PM

Crap... what wattage should those bulbs be? I ordered the 100W...

(I hope thats the right ones

)

The ones I ordered:

KL2DC · 04-12-2006, 10:14 PM

Hmmmm 80W or 100W??

Bavarian19: Oh I've done that DC-MIA-DC track a coupla times, I used to live in Miami...13 hours straight

Have tried the Autotrain service (Orlando-Lorton, VA-Orlando)???

Ok let me know about your bimmerxenons....

have a good drive back....

jea · 04-12-2006, 11:33 PM

Bimmerxenons sucks, lighting output is poor. Going back to my Bimmian Xenesis fog lights they are alot brighter and cheaper once I get my hyperwhite. KL2DC, if you want my bimmerxenons just pay for shipment I'll ship it to you.

BMW0 · 04-13-2006, 01:43 AM

THose rings look PIMP, good job

knonenone11 · 04-13-2006, 01:44 AM

i was looking for a set of fog's to match my hyperwhites as well

you think these Bimmian xenesis' are the ones to buy? Their about 2x as much as the Nokya's but if they match more then I'm more for it...

Thanks for the generous offer

Are they really that bad?

I was just looking at the Bimmian Xenesis' as well...looks like a quality piece and their interior xenon lights are pretty nice as well.

tightie · 04-13-2006, 12:52 PM

looks siiiiiiiick.

bavarian19 · 04-13-2006, 05:39 PM

Well, Im back... Alive...

Can anyone confirm whether the fogs are supposed to be 80W or 100W???

KL2DC · 04-13-2006, 05:45 PM

bav ... welcome back. How was the drive? Yeah good question, 80w or 100w...waiting to pull the trigger. How are the Nokyas compared to Bimmian Xenesis'...

The drive wasnt all that bad. I left at 430AM and got in around 5PM. Im gonna crash hard tonight though...

I have already ordered the 100W (because I forgot about wattage), and they should be arriving tomorrow. Ill install them and tell you what happens.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the bimmerxenons. Came back today to have flippin blue fog lights that give off only a small amount of light... Cant wait to take them off

jea · 04-13-2006, 07:33 PM

KL2DC, the Bimmerxenon foglights looks dim compared to the Bimmian Xenesis foglights. They both look the same, but Bimmerxenon has a darker blue tint glass. Let me know if you still want the Bimmerxenon foglights.

Here a picture of my car with Bimmian Xenesis foglights.

krndanic307 · 04-13-2006, 07:43 PM

I think bimmian xenesis ain't worth it... They're still Hallogen bulbs as any other brand!

bavarian19 · 04-13-2006, 08:24 PM

jea,

those look much brighter and whiter than my bimmerxenons... I wish they looked like those... Hopefully the new bulbs will be much better...

KL2DC · 04-13-2006, 09:46 PM

Jea once again thanks for the generous offer...thinking about it...but I must say the Nokya and the Bimmians are looking good. Just like you, I'd want the fog lights to be functional first and foremost...thank you for the pics, car looks great btw, is that a hartge lip?

Bav...is the 100w more than the current wattage? Would it cause error codes? What about overheating? ... I will wait for your evaluation before ordering then...you are, afterall, my appointed beta tester
