Installed HID fogs...Have a few Q's

Ok, seems like the swith of something is powerful enough. I'm not no elec. expert, but sometime when i turn the fogs on, one doesn't power on.. and its not always a left or right one, it varies... all wires are solid, no breaks anywhere, all i have to do it click off and on again, and all go on. Once its on, i never lose contact, and they stay on, any ideas? Do I need a more powerful relay or something? Please help...

Get a relay harness to draw power directly from the battery, which also prevents you from frying (if ever) your factory wiring.

How do you like the HID fogs? Do they match the factory headlights? How hard was the install?

well, i actually swapped out my stock headlight bulbs for some 6000k and my fogs are 6000k. ITS REALLY nice.. but to tell you the truth, the factory HIDs are REALLY "crisp" compared to these 6000k - but it still looks nice.. i guess when i'm really tired of them, i can always swap the bulbs back and get a new set fro the fogs.. for now, the 6000k will do. i'll attach a pic below

the pics aren't really accurate for some reason. in person, they look like a 99.9% match... here, there is a slight diff.. but that might be b.c i drove to work w/ the fogs only, and then in the garage, i turned on the headlights and snapped a pic like 1 min later

they look dope. hid fogs are the wayto go. so much xtra light coverage and the lines on the road almost have a glow to them. def a great mod and not too expensive. you look like you have a good match in terms of color.

Looks good...I installed the 6k headlights but not sure how to go ahead and do the fogs...I looked at the link to the links above and saw the diagram..but what pieces need to be removed? Anyone have any pics? or step by step process?

Thanks

Fogs look really good! So do your parking lights and corner lights...what type of bulbs did you use, or are they LED?
