Anyone have any info on the bulb types to be used for the lows and fogs? I did a quick look on the Aussie google and ebay for Commodore related stuff, but am having trouble separating out the info, which is slim pickings to begin with.

Lows are (H7-12v-55w)
Fogs are (H11-12V-55W)
These are the bulbs on the SS-V Commodore. (projector lamps)

I'm past 40k with my original GTO bulbs. Thats impressive. (I usually drive with my lights on during the day)

Is the G8 coming with the daytime running lamps? If so, does anyone have a clue on how to turn them off?

Probably pull out a fuse in the fuse box. That's how I turned off the GTO's DRLs. I hope the G8 can do the 6-light mod. High, low, & fog lights all on at the same time.

Check with the service department where you buy your G8.:D

Great thanks! Just want to make sure I I know what to expect for HID upgrades :)

Doing a 6-light mod shouldn't be too hard, just have to figure out which relays to interconnect.

On the GTOs, there is simply one relay to pull out.

I think you can turn off the drl's manually?

That allows for all lights to turn on? Or just to disable DRLs?

One relay controls the DRLs. Pull it, it's gone. A different relay turns power to the fog lights off when the high beams come on. Pull it, the fogs don't turn off. Therefore, all 6 lights are on.

Ok, so what brand bulbs does everyone use as far as hyperwhites? I used to use the Sylvanias on my current Mazda6 but they would not even last a year. Tried them a couple times and just put my OEM bulbs back in. And yes, I took the precautions of making sure everything was clean and dry. I want to find something that will last without necessarily going to full blown HIDs. Suggestions??

Hang on -

On the G8:
-- high beams are H9
-- low beams are H11
-- I don't find a number for the fog lamps

Doesn't anyone read the manual anymore?

To turn off the DRLs turn the headlight switch to the left. They will stay off until the next time you atart the car.
