projector fogs? - ricey?

i dont know if its a repost....But I saw these
on ebay. Thoughts? Do you think output would suck? Probly.

Might be interesting look in bumper... but for the price...
I think its better to spend on HIDs for fogs

Price for fogs is $120!! (rip off)

I dunno, they look pretty hawt to me. and $120 isn't a huge expense for fogs. especially projectors. I's really like to see them powered on and examine the housings before I'd drop coin on it

It is straight as far as looks. As far as output I couldn't tell you but I would assume that it would be nice. You should run a hid kit through these and see. What type of return policy do they have from flea bay? If you can return it with no hassle then nothings lost with trying them out.

As far as ricey? Who cares! A lot of people might say it is but again... who cares? If you like them then go for it. You should post this up on NYC forums. Those cats appreciate mods and will give you constructive criticism.

Get Blazer fogs and retro them into your OEM fogs, they only cost $30 and have awesome output, can even be color modded!

IMO those are ricey. I think projectors only belong in headlights.

Projector fogs are super ricey. Just don't tell Tatanko.

If you're going to get some projector fogs, lose the angel eye(s) and make sure it has a decent beam pattern.

look ricey to me with the cheezy rings. Projectors are only worthwhile with HIDs, not halogens, anyways.

in all honesty, I thought about it for my 5th gen, but it just wouldn't look right unless you had some projector headlights(with HID projector retrofit)

If one has to ask if they're ricey, i.e., has any question at all about it, then yes, they're probably ricey.

what you want are some housings that you can fit 6th gen fogs from their headlights in; they have amazing output and hid kit works great in them as well
the bosch minis and hella DE are other great ones that work well with HID kits
