Just installed the Bohmen 6500k kit for my fog lights. I decided to take a couple pics to show people where they can mount the starter and ballast for best results and away from moisture.

When drilling into the metal, I advice that you purchase some self-drilling screws. These are a big help.

Here are the pics:

Are those OEM 4100k bulbs in your headlights? They seem a bit more purple than the fogs. Anyhow it looks like a great setup, very nice placement on the ballast/starter over a clean install.

 

me like...

PS: Your fogs are brighter than your headlights... nice!

 

Those are KOPS 6000k D2S in the headlights.

The fog seems brighter because I need to aim them tomorrow.

I will post head-on pics tomorrow after I aim them correctly.

 

I think I have to get those now. Also how do you re-aim fogs.

 

You're going to have to talk to my boy Erik (Juice).

 

Here is one more pic I forgot to post

 

Nice! Give them some time to burn in, for some reason my fogs still appear to be somewhat a diff color then the headlights. I still have not figured out why both mine are 6500K Catz but the fogs are only 21w.

Check it out the fog still appears to be a slightly lighter color then the headlight itself. Once my audio setup it done with, my main focus is on 19's then im going back to my HIDs...projecots baby, top & bottom Im sure you'll do the same in due time Igor Ill worry about later. Im satisfied with my setup for the time being.

Looks sick man, just get some more pics in a month or two after they burn in and the true color comes forth.

 

damn bro u have my attention....beuatiful setup and this pic looks like sig quality to me
haha

That looks sick, you need to pop the Bohmen bulbs in your headlights as well

 

If they are the same kelvin rating, you can try to aim your foglamps a little bit higher. That works sometimes

 

dang, your sheeit looks hot!

 

I'm loving the fogs but I just have to ask were did you get those rims

 

That looks bad a$$! Much props Igor.

 

Dude...why is the chick on your sig all F***'D up The nose reminds my of Jackon

mybad..back on topic...

 

Yeah I need to buy them to match my Bohmen 8000k's that I bought from juice.

 

It looks like one of the moderators thought they would be funny and modify my sig address. This $hits wrong and a violation of the org policy.

 

holy $hit that look so good
can you tell me how much it costs?
thanks

 

Lookin good Igor...glad your happy....

 

I'm not too handy but got the Bohmen H4 kit. Can anyone describe of have pics on how to connect it to the car? What part of the HID kit plugs into the H4 harness that is on the car? Should everything be plug and play?

Thanks in advance.

 

Also, does anyone know what I should do about the "auto" feature? Should I disable it or just always use "manual" to turn on the lights?

Thanks.

 

You can work your way around the auto feature, its just anoying.

 

How is it possible to work around it? Or is it ok to just use the "manual feature" and leave the auto alone. I don't want to fry the ballasts.

 

Well, ill usually turn the running light on when I get in the car while the key is not in the ignition. That way the "auto" feature wont turn on the HIDs. Then ill start it up and click it to the ON position, then ill light up the fogs. When I park it, ill turn it one click bacn and shut the car off. When you open the door the lights shut off so you dont have anything to worry about.

If you leave the switch on OFF, and then turn the car on. If its dark out, you have to pass the auto feature which mean even if you dont see it, its going to send the arc to the HIDs, then it goes to running lights, then to the ON position. You basically turned the HIDs on twice in a split sec if you do it this way.

I know its somewhat anoying the way I do it, but its become a habit and I dont even realize I do it anymore.

I dont want to fry any of my ballasts or bulbs or anything. These thing aint cheap.

 

Thanks HitMan for the heads up. Would you happen to know how to connect the H4 connector to the Harness?

 

I just leave mine on auto. If it was to hurt the HID's that much they wouldn't of left that auto feature in. When I turn the key my lights come on and when I start it the lights dim for a sec. I really don't think that will hurt them that much. Most of the time I also leave it on the parking lights and once you exit the car they turn off. Then once I need the headlights I turn them on. I f you where to get the HID fogs I will have to just turn off before starting car and turn on when needed.

 

Thanks MyOwnNismo, how did you connect the H4 harness to the Bohmen kit?

 

How much additional heat will these bulbs put out than standard? I know there is a bunch of speculation regarding the PIAA's causing the glass lenses to crack. I've never tested to see if the HID's are hotter or not....

 

Well to be honest, I have not done a H4 retrofit so im not familiar with the h4 retro. You can try going over to www.hidforum.com and asking there. I would say use search but you cant
You can try asking the guy who started this thread, click Here he did an H4 swap on his 01. He might be able to help. The only retro I did was on my fogs, it was simple as hell and a true plug and play. Only needed to connect the 12v & ground it and thats that. As for my headlights, well I got the 2k2 HID with 6500K (or 6000K, same thing) bulbs.

that looks awwwwwwwwwesome!!!!

 

How much did you pay for the kit?

 

I had a special price from Erik so I cannot share it, sorry. Contact Erik on the pricing of these kits...

 

Thank U much ...

 

Hey Igor, what bulbs do you have in your clear corners? Your lights look good. The pics you took were pretty nice too, what camera?

 

Igor your car is sooooooooooo sick. Seriously it os one of the best looking maxes i have ever seen. You have one tight ride

 

Those fogs look hot. I like them alot. Question: How do you re-aim the fogs so the shine properly? Please respond.

 

There is a white **** on the back of the foglight (you can see it in my silicon pic) and u just turn it.

Thanks for all of the compliments, the camera was a Cannon G2.
