Should I get Xenon Fogs?

Post by philiano »

Hi
I noticed today one of my foglights on my mk2 rocco is blown. I'm finding getting hold of a replacement a bit hard, should I swap to Xenon ones or are they not worth it?

They should have H3 55 watt bulbs in if they are original fogs at least. Would think its far easier and cheaper to get a couple of them than buy and fit a xenon kit. Also would xenon's cause too much glare back from the fog?

as stated, they're a standard bulb that you can buy anywhere for pennies.
