71919, Melted Fog Lights ... WTF ?
Posted by eclipse982nrRST, May-09-04 01:17 PM
Ya so I just put in some matrix angel eye fog lights and i wired them to the turn signal bulbs since i didnt use it anymore cuz of the front bumper switch to a blitz and didnt have room for the sidemarkers. i changed the bulb in them to a h3 hyper white but thats the bulb that came with them too (h3 yellow bulb). well last night after i turned them off with the headlights, i noticed they turned real yellow and some of the inside of the fog light melted, wtf is this from? looks like aboslute shit, lol. also, i got hyper white 1157 turn signal bulbs for the headlights and they dont blink, wtf is up with this too? any idea on these two subjects anyone?

H3 doesn't tell us what wattage you bought. If they were 45 watt bulbs and you replaced them with 65 watt bulbs then yeah, that will melt the housings.


And on your 1157's, did you get the dual fillament bulbs or single? If you just got single of course they won't blink ;)
