    Question New H11 fog light globes

    Hey guys, don't like the yellowish white light of the foggies like most ppl. I don't wanna do the H9 conversion I just want to get new H11s and would like to get one of the MTEC ones...

    First - are the blue version really blue (like enough to get the cops pulling u over)?

    Second - what are people's opinions between the white/blue/yellow options (I have an 05 Euro lux in blue)?

    Third - do any retailers like autobarn or supercheap stock MTEC (or if not where are good online places to buy?

    Thanks

    I have the PIAA H11 yellow Plasma Ion 2500K globes and i love it.
    I recommend PIAA or Mtec and you can buy both brands from ebay. Not sure if autobarn or supercheap sell them.

    Thanks for the pics, I'm after looks, but withoutlosing too much performance (ie how it would be with leds). Leaning towards the blue but interested in various opinions!

    Mine is Mtec 2500k. Looks great and very useful when foggy

    for performance & look in white or yellow:
    http://stores.ebay.com/autopropartsa..._sid=387543997

    http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=113

    for white / blue look only without breaking the bank (I just searched randomly on the cheapest H11 blue tinted bulbs):
    http://stores.ebay.com.au/headlightb..._sid=238238421

    but, with blue tinted bulbs for your foggies, don't expect to be able to see through heavy fog...

    last time i went to autobarn, they sell Phillipsblue vision / crystal vision at such a huge mark up.. Repco sells Narva blue tinted bulbs for $50 something in H11 I think.

    OK I was looking at these three:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUTHE...Q5fAccessories

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MTEC-...Q5fAccessories

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AUTHE...Q5fAccessories

    What I'm getting the vibe of is:

    Yellow - best visibility, interesting/different look but I wouldn't use them all the time

    Blue - worst visibility but I like the idea of the bluish look and I'd use them more often/as standard 'on' foglights

    White - in between on looks/visibility...

    so unsure!

    bear in mind, if you drive to NSW it'd cost you $86 under 'Rule 218-1 (a) Use fog light when not permitted' per:

    http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/rulesregul...ts_general.pdf

    so, that's why i chose yellow for both the GTI and CU2

    these ebay stuffs, you gotta check the international postage cost first. some charge up to US$30 just to get a pair of bulb shipped here.

    Yeah I have a mate who can forward things on so it'd be less than 20 to get them here.
