Yup.. that is the exact same type i have.. after christmas.. i'll post you the bulbs kez.. this way we will find out if its our cars or our bulbs.
i live round the corner from Kez so to save you posting ill call round after xmas and give mine a go if you want.
how long did these bulbs take to arrive for you guys? I ordered them over a week ago, and the seller said he posted them last tuesday and they still haven't turned up...i emailed him asking what the hold up was and he said "please be patient, they're coming from hong kong". But in the item description it says "Item Location: London, UK". The lying Bar Steward!
RikH- tell me about it!
jonjay- i was thinking the same m8, but how much do fog lights improve visibility when you have HID's fitted on the dipped beam? My standard fogs didn't make that much of an improvement really, and in my eyes, the main thing is that people behind you can see your rear fogs...which will be left with standard bulbs. Dipped beam HIDs can be seen just as well in fog, as the standard fog light bulbs (from what i can see anyway)

I am not sure m8 - i am under the impression that as they are more "powerful" than LED lights, they penetrate the fog better so people will see you coming. They must do something surely otherwise cars wouldnt have them........or...?
yer i see where you're coming from...but not all cars have front fogs, but i'm pretty sure all cars have rear ones (correct me if i'm wrong). I agree if what you are saying with regards fogs beign more "powerful", but only when compared to leds or halogen bulbs. I think HIDs would still penetrate the fog more, but i may be wrong.
So in the case of most of us in this thread who already have dipped beam HIDs, the led fogs won't really lose us any fog power lol

same thing happened to me from memory!
item location London, but took a while coming from bloody Hong Kong!
nope, LEDs are not bright enough!
you could always buy some cheap blue h3 bulbs on ebay and they will look less yellow to the oem ones.
or spend a bit extra and HID them like I did
James - which hid's did you use for your fogs then?
I take it you have hid sides as well yes?
no worries...they turned up yesterday! All fitted and all works fine I have to say, although they aren't as bright as fogs should be, the colour match is exactly the same as my sidelight leds (also luxeon type), and as my HIDs, so im well happy.
I had them on last nite, and drove past a cop at a junction....he was just sitting there, a little back from the line, and hadn't started to indicate...and then he followed me lol "This will be interesting" i said to myself, however as i turned into tesco he carried on going. "Phew" lol

It's not illegal to drive with them on, i think it's to do with not blinding other road users ... which you're not - could be an interesting one if / when you do get pulled for it
