Thread: D4 MY2014 DRL Upgrade

Looks great. Do you know if that same bulb could be used on the fog light assembly? I have an MY14 with the Bi Xenons and LED signature lights but the fog light is very yellow as well.

Best light for fogs in my opinion is the H11 osram night breaker unlimited. Not as white but 110%brighter and 30 m more distance. If you just want aesthetic white light there are heaps of LED H11 in ebay. My research shows not as much useful light as the nightbreakers or phillips extreme range. Though with cree LED h11 they are getting close. The really nice ones are still $180 US . So for me the nightbreakers are the current choice.

Also for factory 4300k colour fogs . Phillips do a globe set called crystal vision 4300k. I'm not sure on the range and lumen output. But it would be very close in colour as the bi-xenon OEM headlamps.

There's a nice Led version for those W21s... Canbus happy too

Don't bet on it -I have 4300k HIDs in my low beam and those Phillips 4300K crystal vision globes in my Hi Beam - they are noticeably yellower than the same heat range HIDs and their performance is no better than a basic globe.

I am sure they are just a normal globe with a blue tinge in the glass.

IMHO a waste of money.

Good to know, haven't used the crystal vision myself. More interested in the light output from the fogs. That's why I went for nightbreakers.

They might be OK for fogs but pretty ordinary in Hi Beam - I should have bought the max light ones in the range and not worried about colour.

I will now wait until LED technology gets better and put LEDs in my Hi beam. Have you thought about LEDS for the fogs.

Certainly the standard fogs in the D3/D4 are a waste of space.

Yes, but all the research I have done says the LED H11 are not quite there in terms of output. Certainly the ebay specials..
The only ones I'd potentially go for are the ORACLEH11 . 2200 lumen per bulb!!! But the are $200 US a pair. Bit rich for me, just for foggies. Google them.
The do look awesome
