    H1 is the best... While we're on the topic, I recently completely disassembled my foglights, ran the parts through the dishwasher, and put them back together, now my fogs are so clean they're actually brighter than my low-beams! The beam doesn't travel as far/high of course... Must do the low-beams next.

    what do u have in your fogs?
    My manual says H1. So after buying two H1 bulbs, I open the light and I have 9006. 3/92 production.

    I can actually see a film of dirt inside my headlights, so when I clean them out, I might replace the bulbs too! I wonder what those super-white +30 or +50 bulbs are actually like... I saw them at Repco, and a standard bulb was $13, but the fancy ones were over $20...

    do the hedlights actually come apart?I was gonna do the dishwaher thing or i think one of the aussies had some concotion of water kerosene and detergent.Try the cleaning first you may be pleased with that....I think the 30 and 50 do give more light without the risks associated with higher wattages.
