Are you sure about that?

 

In the rain, yes.

 

Not only in the rain, but overall they are more visible. The color yellow is the 2nd most eye catcing color there is next ro red. Im not saying we should all go out and get yellow HID's though

 

Did we ever find out the cost? Is it a bulb and/or housing replacement? Any rewiring involved?

 

The sun is 5500K or thereabouts

 

SEXY

 

Guys, just an FYI

Imagine the light output X 2 of what you see in the pics. HID fogs are amazing in person.

 

So true...

 

i can't wait to get mine....

5000K HID Fogs....

 

How much is a set going for???

 

$325 shipped to your door.

 

I'll probably be interested in this mid to late next month... Even if it's still not the same price.

Looks awesome!

 

so it sounds like there is no having to deal with any wiring at all. you basically put the bulb in and have to bend the internal shield. can the stock wiring withstand the heat that the bulb puts out? also, is there any difference in the bulbs or modifcations needed since the 00-01 fogs are different than the 02-03 fogs? thanks.

 

yes, stock can withstand easily.
00-01 fogs, no idea, but probably the same.

 

Thanks, and welcome to the org.

 

DITTO I know IGOR I copied off of you. On a postive note.... things are looking brighter around here. When will the others see the light?

 

i want these bad need to save some muaaaaaaaa

 

No, thank you!

 

I'm interested in a pair of those 6000k's.

 

For the guys that have these: how did you aim your fogs, or did you re-adjust them at all? My fogs shine bright and fairly far, but I want them to show more road.

Nice.. thanks much.

 

Guys we have very few left, but can order more

 

Does this kit come with a Ballast, Starter and bulb? Just like all other HID kits?

 

Of course...

 

There is NO need for a starter, it's all built in

 

OK? Then how can Matt say:

I have installed 2 sets of HID fogs and 2 sets of headlight HID's. The fogs take about 1/2 day to do. (4-6 hrs)

10 min per side will take you just to remove a headlight to get down to the fog screws.

Not only that, you need time to mount the starters like so:


That alone takes about 15-30 min a side since you need to pre-drill then screw.

Next you need to mount the ballasts like so:


Once again, pre-drill and then screw them in. Takes 15-30 min.

Then you need to drill the fog light cap. There needs to be a 1" hole so the wires can pass. Then the reflector needs to be pushed in further so the HID capsul can fit without rubbing. Then you need to silicon the open space so that there will be no condensation in the fog and then adding a layer of tape won't hurt. Like so:


That process alone takes hours to do since you need time for the silicon to dry.

Once that is finished, you need time to connect all of the wires, upgrade the foglight fuse and then aim the fogs so they dont kill ppl from the glare. Then reinstall everything (headlights, foglights, ect.)

This job is far from 10 mins.

 

then subtract time for the starters from my post. I just don't want ppl getting the wrong impression of this install. It's not that simple.

 

Matt and I installed mine in roughly 20 mins.

 

Right, by using duct tape...

 

Are there any pics of the acutal kit outside of the car? Perhaps still in the box?

 

Uh.. did I say ductape? Double sided tape was used for the ballasts (provided with the kit) and the wires that were not used are taped up with electrical tape.

 

Your right IGOR, I spent about 4 hours total. However, I didn't have to bend anything in my housing and didn't have to re aim my fogs. I have no problems with glare or getting flashed by oncomers. They had the same beam pattern as the stock ones. I guess there's a quick easy way and the there's a right dependable way

 

Hey, the last pic in this set, do you JUST have the fogs on, or both fogs and headlights? Cuz if thats just the fogs, thats amazing

 

So much for 10 mins a side

 

Only the foglights are lit up in that pic (the angel eyes as well, but they don't put any light on the ground).

 

What Matt and I did wasn't dependable? Matt pretty much made all the connection, and I helped out a bit. It took ~10 mins a side. Everything works. No loose wires. No loose connections. No rattling, no drilling, no sparks, no flickering. Please tell me how my install is different from yours. I don't think a person offering a 5 year warranty on their product would put together a half-assed install right in front of a customer/friend.

 

i want em too...these just bulbs, or is this a true hid kit? sorry if a stupid question.

 

It's not Hyper White bulbs or anything like that - those are crappy and burn out in 6 months.

This is a true HID kit - bulbs, ballasts, and harnesses.

 

I was wondering, did you keep the factory caps that cover the bulb or did you just remove them completely? If you kept them there is no way to keep from drilling them and running the new wires threw them to get a good water tight seal. IF you didn't condensation will show shortly
