Looking for old school round H3 55W fog lights, Hella etc (1 Viewer)

Looking for old school round H3 55W fog lights, Hella etc. It seems these are no longer available from Hella (the Comet 550 I think it was) and I'm not finding any others out there... anyone know of anything, any source? I know I can add yellow/gold bulbs to clear fogs but I was hoping for the full yellow deal...

And I had a couple of sets that I sold a few years back! (SEE, THIS IS WHY I TELL MY WIFE I SHOULD NEVER SELL ANYTHING)

Thanks,
mark

Few I found.

You could get some Hella 500's and the yellow stick-on laminate kit.

Ken,
Do you have any experience with those? I have a pair of the clear 500 fogs...

And Colo... thanks for the links... I had seen those - I like the Bosch maybe...

I've had a few sets long ago, they are not the most durable lights, but they are not very expensive. I had trouble with the reflective material coming off the back of the lenses. The plastic housings are not very weatherproof.

I meant the stick on yellow film....

 

[KLF]

Oh that. No, never used it.

When I bought my FJ62, there was a set on the ARB that were tinted yellow. I guess they're no longer available with the tint?

 

[woytovich]

No, the round Hellas in yellow/amber are NLA... In fact other than the ones cited above I can't find any in yellow/amber...

I've had good luck with the film. Holding fine on a friends truck. And on the fogs on a Subaru 2.5rs (a 6" fog like a hella 500) and have had it on that car a few years + now.

 

[woytovich]

Thanks... I ordered some... I'll report back...

Try rallylights.com...they have lots of hella bulbs, including some with the yellow cover.

All I'm seeing in yellow is this:
HL75051 - Amber Driving Lamp
and it is a driving beam, not a fog...

Well I have to confess that one of my goals is to have round fogs that look yellow when turned off... That said I also like the functionaliry of yelow light in fog/snow situations. If the yellow covers don't yield yellow enough light I'll add these bulbs... Or just get a pair of the Boasch's noted above.

Daniel Stern ordered me some yellow Bosch 100's for my ARB in my 100....I like them

Another option, but I'd do the inside of the lenses. Duplicator metal cast in yellow.

VWVortex.com - french fogs and amber turns for $7 ;)

 

[woytovich]

Yeah... I had seen the Duplicolor mentioned somewhere... but in that forum they warned against it... If the stick-on stuff isn't dark yellow enough I may try BOTH! AND add a yellow bulb... that'll do the trick!

BTW I ordered a pair of the yellow stick-ons from Amazon and what arrived was a pair of the smoked ones... the label on them said "Yellow" but they are packaged so you can't see the color until you open them. I have a replacement set on the way but I fear that some warehouse drone mislabled a whole bunch of them and it may take some doing to get an actual yellow set...

If the lights have enough depth to the housings, a 3009k hid is nice. Better output and less draw.

Also, did you order static cling or sticky film for the yellow? On the LEDs I posted, did 2 layers to get the darker color on those.
