Upset with fog lights on 2006 Allure found replacement Hella bulbs 894 T-3 with 37.5 watts versus the stock 27 watts. Also upgraded headlights with Phillips 9007 X-Treme Power Headlight bulb. Per the advertising the Phillips are 80% brighter; per the reviews 30-40% brighter.

Dan,

Could you kindly advise the price of the upgraded bulbs? Any issues with the installation? Thank you,
Herb H.

The bulbs are plug and play and very easy to get at and change. The Hella 894 is a replacement for the 881 which came in the fog light and cost about $9.00 each. The Phillips is the same 9007 bulb and cost $29.00 for a two pack. All from Amazon. The higher output bulbs burn hotter and do have a somewhat reduced hour life but for the amount of night time driving I don't consider that an issue.

Thank you Dan -

The current light intensity and quality is terrible, any performance improvement will be appreciated.
