Very nice. Shields still in the fogs? What clearance lights do you have installed?

thanks guys, the sheilds are still in the fogs. i used the H3 mini bulbs so i didnt have to remove the shield. clearance lights are 12-LED white wedge bulbs.

Glad you like them

If your state is not too strict with lighting, consider getting clear sidemarkers and "white" LEDs in them. I say "white" because the color is actually more 6-8,000K HID like, white light with a hint of purple/blue. Oh and fog re-wire FTW!!!

Very nice. I dont understand how the HID thing goes. You said you put 6000k in and they look great. What is the differance between those and 9000k? I've seen some on the street, and they just look rediculously blue, but I just figured those were probably 12000k's.

I have the 12-led bulbs as well but they look bluish compared to the 6000k HID's. Which one's did you buy? Bought them of warden_jp2002 on ebay. Wondering if any1 has something closer to the HID color.

If anyone that has this setup and has the time please take a picture with the fogs on and off from a short distance so I can see how much extra light they cast. Thanks!

Very nice! I also have the 6000K fogs. I might need to look into getting those LED's for the clearance lights though.

Car looks great man! I'm looking for the same. Did you upgrade your bulbs and purchade a HID Fog kit? You mentioned you bought from Maximabest in the groupbuy? Was the price $100 for bulbs and $245 for the Fog kit?

One question - why does the fog look less bright in the 2nd picture (left fog light?

djbonsu, Good question...Well it was tricky, but i did sum little modifications to get the buls IN. I dont remember was the name but inside the housing of the fogs, i bend this little metal that's inside you probably know what i'm talking about. When i was done wit that i saw that the whole thing would not close properly since it was super tight, so i made this little plate which i placed behind the bulb N the screws to close the whole thing UP....my friend help A lot wit that, its weird but it did it..No problems soo far i have this set for almost a year NOW..(knock on wood) SOrry for the long post but it couldn't find any other way to explain it...

i also have the 6k mini fog kit from maxima best and i love them. i rocked just the fogs for about a year and finally broke down and payed the 110 for the 6k headlight bulbs and what a difference! Cant believe i waited so long! get the whole set and you will not be dissapointed. i too have a pearl white max and i have the polarg side and headlight side markers. The car looks sick.

I'm not saying it looks bad, but I wish they would get rid of fog lights in general.

I'm assuming since you took the money and effort to do this you will run the damn things all the time. I HATE people that run around with their fogs on all the time blinding other traffic. Especially after they just throw on some kit that gives no regard to the beam pattern. That is typically followed by someone who fails to adjust the direction in general.

that is why I have projector fogs with a cutoff, although I have no idea how they will react to having HIDs in there (getting ready to be pelted by pissed off drivers). I know my headlight HIDs have a horrible beam pattern. Need to get some projectors in there.
