Check your manual, it has all the bulb sizes and voltages. The coupe are 55w and the sedan are 35w (i cant remember which is H1 and which is H8) There is also a thread which all the fittings. But 55w for coupe, 35w for sedan!

35W. I'd stay away from 55w as they can run a lot hotter.

For coupe its H1 55w for sedan with the bumper fogs i believe its 35w H8. Check into the sedan one though.

Guys sorry this is a little off topic but I dont want to post a new thread.I mistakenly had put 100w H1s on the coupe and one of them burned out. I haven't had a chance to check it out but any chance I damaged my balast?

There is no ballast for the fog light. From the factory they take normal halogen bulbs. Thats why when you buy HID fogs you have to get a full kit with ballasts. That is also why I wouldn't suggest getting higher than a 35W HID kit. It is already going to be a whole lot brighter than the standard halogen. Plus you don't want to be blinding people on the roads.

Carful if your from canada or anywhere with daytime/parking lights. Since they share the same housing, using the fogs too much (assuming you get HID's) will probably wreck your daytime bulb from the excess head the new HID fogs would create. Then again if your like me youd get a HID conversion kit just because you think the ballasts look cool :P. I never use my fogs haha

08+ coupe = H1
07-09 sedan = 9006
10 sedan = H8

Just get a reg 35w hid kit. The way they reflect in the fog housing will look brighter than the headlights.

Yeah, the 55w will blow a fuse. It is a pain in the as to change the fuse in the battery area.

I did the HID fog conversion from DDM Tuning using the 55 watt ballasts. Fogs are my daytime running lights here in Canada and I have no problem with them. I would probably reroute the wire for the DRLs to the city lights if its not too much trouble.

What is the temperature of the OEM HID lights - I want to get a set for my '10 G37 Conv, but I want the color to match.
