Default i got a HELLA good noob question.....

i got the Hella Micro DE fog lights and i just wanna replace the stock H3 55watt bulbs with some selective yellow. The questions are:
1. can i get a higher wattage like 100w or just stick with the same 55w?
2. also anyone know where i can buy them online at??
3. does higher wattage give better light output??

thank you, please don't tell me to get 3000k hid's i dont wanna spend too much money and the fogs were just to cover the vents cuz i picked up on some Fig Grills which were only top and bottom.

.. not sure where to get yellow bulbs. but i have HIDs on my box both fob & regular... IF you decide to go with a higher wattage bulb.. you should know that you will have to run a relay for each bulb due to the higher power dra, you dont want to cook your factory harness. Also in the past with other stupid stuff my freinds and i have done.. we melted a h eadlight lens or two.. but HIDs are definatly the way to go.. much more light output. lower running wattage and they're badasss!

I remember something about a difference between having yellow bulbs in the front of your car and having yellow overlays/filters over white bulbs. one of them was illegal but I don't remember which. haha

yellow bulbs are fine as long as they're not the headlights, i mean.. look at the IS300.

as for choosing which bulb to rock, those hella's will take whatever you throw at them. magnesium housings and glass lenses = no melting. the only thing that might melt is the rubber weather stripping.
