Replacement Fog Lights?

[Metroid]

Hey all,

My mechanic tells me I've blown both fog lights in the front of my car (dunno how) and that they need to be replaced. I have official SS ones in there (Spac Series 1 VY).

What would be the cost of replacing them with the same set from holden, or can you recommend an after market set that are of good quality?

Cheers all,


Matty

You cant just replace the globes?

I wouldn't get the set from Holden as they would charge u the Earth.
The bulbs are H3 type, which are commonly used for foglights. I would recommend Narva for a good aftermarket type.

i would assume he meant globes dude, if so there like $5-$10 each. problem fixed.

if not be looking out for $300+ each from holden, well the monaro ones were that.

Get phillips crystal vision gloves, about $70-$90 for the set and they include parker globes too.

Oh really from the impression I got he said blown lights assumed it was replacement kit, but if its globes thats great fantastic thanks guys. Appologise for the idiot post I made haha but cleared me right up.

autobarn, repco, most auto stores will have the globes you need but like people have mentioned.

I paid $14 each side for VY foggie bulbs. 20 minutes to rip the bar off and on and it's done.

I replaced one the other day, $12 for the bulb from autobarn, there is a thread on here somewhere that tells you how
Should see 2 screws above the glass, one to adjust angle, other one releases the lock ring to get glass out, no need to remove bar at all.
Took about 5 min, just follow the wires back about 5cm and pull out the plug,
easy as

so i was right? lol. ive havent paid full price for a car part in years, i have no idea on generic stuff, because i work at a "premium (la de da) dealership" so whenever i need a globe, i just order it in.

No need to remove the front bar, there is just 3 nuts to remove behind the bar holding the light assembly in place then 2 screws on the front, pull the globe out from the front and replace, I just did mine then with Xenon Blue globes.

Im very disappointed, they still look yellow, I noticed it to be slightly lighter than the factory ones...I still want it to be more white/blue..

Anyone recommend a set that are the whitest/bluest in H3s?

[sp001in]

are the vy foglights round or oval? what about the VZ r8 foglights?
