Now I'm pretty much forced to buy them. I got to the car wash today and when I went to wash the front end, my driver's side fog light was gone

Oh well, I guess I need to figure out the best HID's now.

No idea when it fell out, but it must have shattered, there is a piece of glass wedged between my tailpipes now.

Sounds like you need a new housing too.

Oh yeah, I've already contacted John at BVV to order a new lamp and mounting hardware. I'm just now getting ready to order the HID's.

Okay, I'm going to order the 55w 5000k fogs, do I need to add the wiring harness and the bulb out indicator thing?? Or can I just order the bulbs?

 

[Husker Z]

Nevermind, it looks like that only applies to the regular headlights, not the fogs. If I'm not correct, let me know.

Anyone know if this will be a direct replacement for the OEM??

I'm pretty sure there's a specific one for the "R," and it's different than the regular S60 one (more angled). I have 145,000 miles and looked into replacing mine, and I know it's def not cheap.

I think I just found a direct replacement for the R on myswedishparts.com for $150. I just need to verify the one I need to order. Here is the link.

That pricing looks more accurate. I was hunting for used ones on ebay a year or so ago and they were still $75 or more each.

I've put in an inquiry to make sure I'm ordering the correct one, I'll order it up when I get confirmation. I think this is the one I need, but I need to make sure. I guess the price is only $127, so that's nice.

Fog lamp Left - W/s60r 2004-07 - W/s60r 2004-07
04-07 $151.54 $127.29

Re: (Husker Z)

If you're still considering getting HID fogs, I'd be down for a set if a GB would make them cheaper!!

I'd have to flip through "R" Kelly's Adventures in R Lighting thread IOT determine exactly which ones we should consider; I will do that this evening. I am late for an appointment currently...

I got my 2006 replacement lamp from this guy on the bay and it is nearly identical to stock for less than half the price. I had to change the electrical connector but that is simple. Just make sure you check if you need the clear lens or the opaque lens, mine had the opaque so I replaced them both. Much more light output with the clear lens.

Dang, I wish I had seen that prior to ordering the one I did, that's a great deal, plus with the new HID's I ordered, the clear would have been nice. Oh well

Re: (Husker Z)

How hard are these to replace? I had the mounting screws "fall out" of the passenger side fog recently (at least that's what I think happened), and need to take care of that asap.
