Default Brighter fog lights

I have the rectangle fog lights on my bull bar with h3 15w bulbs that aren't doing the trick for me so I ordered h3 30w cool whites to see if their a little brighter. I'm trying to get a beam for night but not too bright because I always have them on at night with my headlights which are bright white. Should I have ordered the 80w h3s ? Anyone with this set up that can help, thanks

Forget messing with bulbs. Buy the adapter kit to install led cubes. Then buy LED Cubes, and some wiring adapters so that you don't have to cut your existing plug. These will be way brighter than any bulb will be.

I think I'm just going to put a light bar because the company that made my bull bar put the holes to far to the outside. The holes should be like 6"-8" from center

Sylvania has released a new Brighter bulb for foglights. Costs about $150.00. Yep a big wad of money.

The rectangular fog light holes are... 7"? I'm sure there's an LED cube or 6" bar to fit in there.... These should fit!

No the holes on my bull bar are predrilled and are only about 4" from the inside bar which they could have been closer to the middle of the bull bar for more room. Brighter fog lights-photo741.jpg

I ordered new, round LED floods to replace these because these don't do s@%^ for night illumination. I have HID headlights which are bright white and like driving with the fog lights on but the rectangular ones don't put out any light like I want. I went from 15w led bulbs to 30w but no change. If I could find the right bulb to give me more light I would keep the ones I have on.

^ I have those on my golf cart, it is a 'wide beam', not a narrow, focused beam that will "reach out there."
