Looks like Joe posted that over 2 years ago. Maybe he fixed it, but I just had one burn out on me and I went to the dealership and bought the bulb. it was $ 28. Just for the bulb. I think I still have the part number if anyone wants it. And talking about the HID conversion, I was thinking about doing that, but I wonder if those bulbs fir the housing.

Hey Joe yes you can get a single bulb but I opted for upgrading to HID foglight bulbs. Youve seen them but mine are the 8000K ones where you may want to stick with the 4300K nes so it matches your headlights.

Just a thought

I would be cautious with putting in HID bulbs in the fog light housing, there are have been reports of it melting the housing.
Also since there are 6k LED bulbs available that are much cheaper I see no reason to go with the HID fogs.

Here are the bulbs i just purchased, will be installing them next week.

Can anybody confirm the color temperature for the 2011/2012 HID Headlamps? I'd like to replace the standard fog lamp bulbs without going to HID - using a cooler light (4300K? 6000K?) to match the HID's.

Thanks in advance.

Great question... As far as I know, most OEM applications are 4300k. I unfortunately do not have any published specs to back that up though.

I know for sure they are not over 5000k though. 5000k = blueish, 6000k = almost purple-ish.

So if you're options are 4300k and 6000k I'm positive its not 6k.
