I have a set of HD fog lights mounted to my crashbar and I love them. I've read that there are aftermarket bulbs that are much better than the stockers. One I've heard of is a Sylvania Silverstar H3.

Is the Sylvania a good choice and is the H3 the correct one for these lights?

Are there other bulbs that have performed well?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

I have the same fog lamps on an 2009 street glide, and I loved the extra light but the oem bulbs looked yellow compared to the single HID lamp.

I upgraded to the Sylvania H3 Silver Star ZXe kind of a halogen/sort of Zenon bulb with a nice white light.

I highly recommend them

 

I have stock bulbs in my EG , but my Fatboy I had PIA bulbs in passing lamps as well as headlight and loved them!

 

Thanks for the feedback!! I just ordered a set of these bulbs. I appreciate the advice.

 

Checking to see if anybody has any updates or additional suggestions. I just installed Daymaker Headlamp and have dynamic ringz turn signals. Love them both but am looking together my HD Fog Lamps to cast ad whiter light as opposed to the traditional yellow.

 

Candlepower sells a few different wattages/ colors. Fog lights look good with yellow or amber bulbs and you stand out on the road.........

 

I grabbed a set of the silver stars listed above at the local auto parts store today. They look real white and bright. I ride with them on all the time to stand out. Just hope they last.

 

Went with Trucklite headlight and passing lamps......never regretted it for a second. Bright as hell....I know I am being SEEN now.

 

I haven't tried them in a while, but Silver Star bulbs had a tendency to burn out within a year. Their "Ultra" bulbs were good for about 3 months longer. At their cost, I've given up and just rely on regular bulbs now days. Besides, HD bulbs are expensive enough, but they seem to last pretty good. After 2 1/2 years, and over 36,000 miles, I finally had one of my passing lamps burn out the other day. Went ahead and replaced both of them. At a total of $35.00 and some change.

If I could get 2 1/2 years out of any Silver Star, I'd give them a shot again.

 

depends on what you consider best.

the hella 100w h3 bulbs are bright. and dirt cheap. you'll probably want the snap in ceramic connectors (which are also pretty inexpensive.)

theres several different LED drop ins you can use as well.
