Question Quick Question: Anyone know where to buy some H3 foglight bulbs before WED?

I need to replace my foglight bulbs on my 2007 Impreza.... It takes H3 55w bulbs but I was looking to buy some yellow bulbs rather than the stock clear ones. Anyone know where I can buy a pair before Wed? I know they can be had online but I need them ASAP (before Wed morning).


If anyone knows of a place that sells (Ion something or other, I don't know what they are called) yellow H3 foglight bulbs in the 55W variety please let me know so I can go pick them up tomorrow. I'm in the South Bay (San Jose), the closer the better but I'm willing to drive a little while to buy them, preferably in the eastern side of the bay (Fremont/Milpitas/UC).


Thank you.



PS: Just to confirm, the 2007 STi foglights are H3, right?

Just FYI, I'd like to avoid PIAA at all costs. I am a former PIAA fanboy who through many PIAA failures learned that they are NOT good and actually are one of the worst manufacturers of lights out there.


I've had everything from various types of bulbs (various types and sizes), different wattage, to fog light assemblies and their **** poor attempt at HID's a while ago... Needless to say I'm now a PIAA hater... Every one of their products have failed me in a really pathetic way... Everything breaks really quickly, shoddy quality, and REALLY expensive!

Through trail and error I've found HELLA's to be far superior to PIAA in just about every way. PIAA is crap and a rip off... I wouldn't use their headlight bulbs (something you need for safety unlike foglights and such which are just add ons to the headlights) if someone gave them to me for free.


I hope this post informs at least just one of you... If I can get one person to not buy PIAA products then my mission is complete. Stay away folks, major ripoff for a really **** poor product.

I haven't had any real problems with the 3 sets of PIAA's I have, but maybe I'm just fortunate, I also really like their silicone wiper blades, haven't found anything else that comes close.

I use Hella Yellow Star bulbs in my '03...love 'em. They're not super yellow at all, but they are very effective in bad weather. Not sure where you can get them locally. I know you need them now...but for future reference you can get them here:
