upgrading H3 bulbs on 7th gen celicas

[sc0rp1o21]

Hey how's it going fellow celica drivers and lovers

Having some trouble getting the desired effect of changing out my H3 bulbs on the factory foglamps. Supposedly super white bulbs and plasma white bulbs appear white of whitish blue. I've already used the Matrix Hyper White H3 bulb and the APC Super White H3 bulbs, but the appearance of these bulbs look just like the stock bulbs...what's up with this?

Any suggestions, explanations or solutions is greatly appreciated.

I think the problem isn't the bulbs, but the fog lamp itself. The lense of the foglamp prevents sudtle changes in color. What I mean by this is that the fog light lense itself is curved in a particular way that even if the bulb emits slighlty whitter color, it still appears yellow due to the physics of the light bending in the lense for the functionality of a fog lamp. So the only thing you can really do is make it yellower like the Lexus HID with yellow foglamps. Hope that helps

I put in Eurolite h3 bulbs and they shine totally white

I notice alot of people have problems with the fogs but I never did

i've had same problem... from what i heard..stock fog housing has some kind of light filtration.... but some ppl have gotten white lights fine... .so as for me, i believe it is all depending on how much wattage you are pushing with your bulbs.... i juss went with ion yellow fogs.... :D
