HID fog lights
Just like the title says. Is this even possible? I want to throw some 3000k's in the foglights and personally i think the yellow fog light housings look stupid. If this can be done, where would I mount the ballasts? Would the lights even fit in the housing? Thanks for any input.

The stock fog light housings have such a bad beam pattern that most people don't bother to try this mod. If you did a retrofit with some small projectors like these for example: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...roducts_id=249
...then it would be a worthwhile upgrade.

I don't really know anything about retrofitting. To be honest I just want the color. I might even get 8000k's to match my foglights. I don't even care if they don't make a difference in vision, I just want them to be able to look nice so I can use my foglights.

The stock fogs are garbage, plain and simple. People only really put HIDs in there for cosmetic purposes. Myself personally, I put Lexus yellow capsules in there, and used halogen bulbs. It does the job....very well.

the stock fogs are horrible they dont work lol thats why im in the process of retroing mine i wish i had more time to finish them but i work 6 days a week night shifts. i have everything i need the acrylic, dremel, projectors, finally got some angel eyes to work with now i just wish i had time.
retroing really isnt that hard once you get the hang of it. get your self some junk parts from the junk yard and test retro thats what i did easy and cheap. heres a link to my project if you wanna know more
