h3 hid's???
None yet...
There is currently no H3 HIDs available, but supposedly there are some H3c HIDs in the works. I'm not sure if they are compatible or not, but they are around $650 according to Hogan(yo_its_ok).
Hogan modified some H4s to fit into the H3 housing, so it's possible to make your own. Also, PIAA and some other companies make HID fog lamps, but they're pretty expensive.

Yeah, I plan on doing the mod. I cant stand the fact that no H3 bulb puts out the color of a larger bulb like a 9005 or H4 or H7. Must be something to do with the fact that the bulb is too small.
I have tried like 7 different H3 brands, nothing. When I found that Hogan said that you could put a H4 in there, I said to my self "Hell YEAH"
Time to Ghetto rig something else. Aint nothing like ghetto riggin'

Yeah but for some reason I dont believe in puttin HIDs in a fog light assembly. Seems like a waste to me. It is already low and the aim is damn near to the ground, if I did put HIDs in there, it would only light up more of the front area. I want DISTANCE viewing.

I wish the PIAA HID fog lamps weren't so DAMN expensive. I bet those would light up some $HIT.

What about buying some good looking cheap foglight kit, so you can ghetto-rig some Panasonic H4s HIDs into the housing. I know there are some cheaper HID kits available, but I think the Pansasonics are the best thing priced around $450.

I'm going to uninstall everything to go the the dealer for the ECU TSB. Then when I reinstall them with the 2K2 clips, I will install them with the relays and some BAD A$$ fuse blocks I found from Painless Performance.

BigDog have you tried the Raybrig Magnum Whites? These things look hardcore.
AreX was supposed to get back to me with some prices on these.

Yeah I am a cheap bastard on bulbs, too many have blown out and cant justify spending more than that when there is a possibility the bulbs can blow out a week after i installed them

About Hogan's HIDs: Let's say it's a dark night and you happen to drive into a tunnel with little lighting. And then if Hogan were to drive into the tunnel on the opposite end with all his HIDs on, it would make you feel like you're dying...
Head for the bright light at the end of the tunnel ... head for the bright light at the end of the tunnel ... head for the bright light at the end of the tunnel ....

My Raybrig HID and Ichikoh HID almost match, just the H3 HID kit seems brighter cause of the reflector. Color is hard to tell w/o getting Tunnel Vision.

I have a set of Ichikoh H3C HIDs in my Pathfinder along with the H4 Raybrig Hi-Lo HIDs.
Getting the H4s to fit in the housing was a b!tch to say the least. Becareful when putting the HID Burner in there, cause the ceramic resistor on the bottom will crack and break if you are not careful. The opening for the HID burner is limited since the H3 bulb itself is so small, and that you will have play when attempting to put in the HID burner. I destroyed 3 H4 HID Burners on one side before I got it right. After I had done that,within 24 hours the exporter I worked with sent me a new price sheet, and I saw H3C, so I bought a set and played with it for a few days and decided to put into the Pathfinder. The light output makes me sick, the lighting on my Maxima and Pathfinder compare to nothing short of stadium lighting. The Pathfinder's lighting will pierce thru a street lamp w/o problem w/ reflective range of over 2 miles.
I've never heard of Philips making an H3, maybe H1 or H7 but not an H3. I do have a set of Hella DE Projectors w/ H1 HID system, I had them on my car during fall and winter, and that is the ultimate fog lamp set up, they were brighter, more focused, and had longer spread pattern than my Philips HID Headlamps.
Raybrig, PIAA, and even APC(Yes, APC) HID Foglights all suck *****.
They go from Blue to Yellow to yellow-white. The only one that looked good was the Hyper Blue coating and Ion Crystal coating on the Raybrig HID Fog Lights. Blue, and Yellow respectively. The clear lensed ones had a yellow-white look to it. Beyond that I'd settle on PIAA or Raybrig Fog Lamps.
-Save your money on the HIDs.

What does the "C" mean? How much modification to fit in the stock H3 fog lamp housing? What is the color of these compared to the 2K2 HIDs?
Thanks.
