You're gay!

 

Lol!

 

Cause the light Output (Lumens) is minimum and sucks!!!! 4300-8000 is the range for most. I personally like my 8000K headlight/foglights combo and light output is awesome but would be even more intense if I"d done 6000K. Usually when I pull up to a stoplight with another HID hobbyist using 10000K,12000K,or 100,000K their light output is so poor I flood their lights pattern with my own output making their lights look like they're not even on!!!!! Here's a few pics of my setup! Remember the lower the numeric kelvin the higher the lumen, The higher the kelvin, the lower the lumen!!!!

 

Looks nice. Do you think 12k will be brighter than stock fogs?

 

Did you miss what we all said up top?? 12000k is dim.

 

So dimmer thank stock?
Oh sheeeeet!!!!

 

i got a 5000k 35w xenon foglight kit to match my headlights on my 08 Max shipped for $59.99 on hidextra.com and havent had a problem with them and ive had them for 7 months

 

WAY dimmer than stock. Its good to look at from outside but output wise it sucks

 

I see, well, I could always replace the bulbs later.

Before I get the kit to my door,
I was wondering, how did you guys do the installation?
Did you keep the stock cap? did you had to cut something from the HID bulbs?

 

Dude, you really got to search more on the site. All of this has been covered before. TRY SEARCH!

 

yes brighter than halogen but no where as brilliant as stock HID's (lumen wise)!!!!!

 

This kelvin for instance lays down good light coverage with good intensity and solid lighting, a very good lumen rating!!!!! Stay away from anything above 8000K it just looks cool and doesn't emit any intensity and don't let it rain cause you won't see anything on that wet ground cause it's too dim!

 

I have some 6000k bulbs but theyre h7. If your fogs have that little clip that hold the bulb in place, these would fit. Looking to sell for $16 shipped

 

I did search. One guy did it with the stock fog cap and you removed the cap I think so I was trying to find out what is the best way.

Should i do it like the guy did it whose name starts with n? The guy that draw the wiring diagram

 

I want to do this mod is this hard to do? I have an non Hid headlight that I wanna swap to HID.

 

Not hard at all. Plug and play.

 

Put the cap on. If not, you'll get moisture in the fog. You have to modify to fit the cap.

 

For headlights and fogs?

 

Yup if you get the right size so connectors remain compatible.

 

I make a lot of runs down I80 in PA and find 8k head/fog to work great on the unlit roads no need for brights

 

Are you two referring to the seal on the rear access cap.....If you are I drilled my rear cap with a uni-bit til my HID foglight bulb's seal fit perfectly! Here's some picture for some insight!

 

Thank you, off to go find some stock replacements. I hate driving at night due to poor visibility. Can someone spare some advice where to look to upgrade both headlights and fogs? Do I need projectors?

 

Would you recommend to take all fog light assembly out?

 

Yup, under the front of the car is plastic splash guards. Remove those and you will see the back of the fog housing. I believe there is one screw holding the fog light assembly in place. (10 mm?) Once you remove this, the whole assembly will be able to be removed from the front of the bumper.

 

Here's my kit!

100% water proof, not just splash proof!

 

for people with hid fogs, where did you mount the ballast? i extended my wires up and tucked the ballasts in behind the headlights. im just wondering other places you put it.

i also agree with the 8k ftw....i have that in my headlights, and 6k in the fogs. 12k is gonne be super purple. ew.

oh, and i also use those xentec kits off ebay. $33 and they work just as well as anything else.

 

Mounted mine in the area behind the fog above the splash guard.

 

I don't know how you guys did it, but I H3 bulbs did not work for me. They are too long. The only way to make them fit is remove the reflector inside the fog assembly, but I think the lighting might not be as good if you remove the reflector. So I will have to order H3S bulbs, and it won't be violet I think I'll get 3000k yellow

 

Match it with 6000k IMHO

 

Okey, thanks, I will

 

Really!?! Mine fit just fine with the reflector in it. Even though I removed mine. ( personal preference)

 

mine fit too with the reflector.....but i also took the reflector out.

 

U both have i30?

 

It's the same housing for the I30 and the I35

 

How come mine doesnt fit lol

 

No wonder why she stopped answering your calls....with statements like that

 

LOL, nice one. It took me over a minute to get it though

 

Thats what she said! ( nicely played)

Not sure, I'm starting to think with all your problems...maybe, your car was built on a friday at 5 pm. Lol!
