Loks great.....Now, if you can supply the info for re-wiring so that the Fogs can be used with the parking lights without the headlights on, that would be nice. Never did understand why Infiniti and others do That!. Acura, Jeeps, some others are able to have the Fogs on w/o the headlights on!

Not a fan of yellow fogs. It reminds me the old French Peugeot and Citroen cars.

Not sure whether its matter or rewiring.. I owned at Vw Touareg V10 TDi and the fog-parking feature was only able to be changed done with a VAG-COM (basic re programing the computer) I would like that considering a Dodge RAM can do it.

Nice mod. I like the look of the yellow fogs on the '10 G37 and plan on doing the same mod on mine.

I'm going to use some Höen "Endurance" (yellow) fog light bulbs. Hoen high performance halogen
I've used these in the past with great results.

I'm also using Nokya Hyper Yellow (2500k) bulbs in my other car now and they're very good IMO too.

I wonder how the Hoen color match bulbs perform. Has anyone installed them before? They are pretty inexpensive for $29.99 for the pair (Hoen H8 xenon match bulb 35w).

I've only used the Hoen yellow fog light bulbs, so I can't personally tell you about their color match bulbs.
But I first heard of Hoen on some of the BMW boards. They're popular bulbs with the BMW crowd and I've read mainly very positive reviews. Most would say PIAA are probably the best halogen bulbs all around, but IMO for the money Hoen bulbs are a very good buy.

I have used PIAA. They are high quality but they also have low life expectation in my experience. I'd like to try the color match xenon ones from Hoen as they are like a third of what you'd have to pay for the PIAA bulbs.
