I want to convert my fogs to HIDs. How to do this? Best Kit to buy?

Order a H3 kit. Its all plug and play from there.

 

It wasnt plug and play for me on my 01 I30. The wires have to be cut and the bulb cover has to be modified. Do a search there are instructions on this site.

 

Yikes! You cut wires? I didn't cut anything on my fog lights......

 

yeah, maybe the kits are plug n play now, but when i did it the only way was to cut wires and modify the light housing.

here's a thread discussing what i mean: http://forums.maxima.org/infiniti-i3...-into-a33.html

 

Ebay? I just ordered mine from HIDExtra, still waiting for it though...

I'll tell you how my installation went once I get them on although it will be different since U have a different generation I30.

 

What are you gonna do with your yellow fogs?

 

Just keep them as spare lights. Same with bulbs for headlights

 

i noticed ur sig and u have piaa fog bulbs now, what do you think of them? i have hid fogs now and cosmetically, they are great but as for the output, its not that great. do they light the road well, how yellow are they?

 

They're alright, they do a mediocre job and are weaker than your "regular" fog light bulb id say about by 20%. I mean Id say they are YELLOW but don't have the strong yellow output that HIDs have because they're so weak - can't see it in my Sig now can ya?

 

damn iight thanks for the response!

 

So I have a little input about this conversion. I have a 2000 I30 and I recently bought a 6000k Slim HID kit from HID Extra. I had installed them with the factory harness and had a terrible time getting them to work consistently. So after letting it be for a few days I decided to give it another shot... I took everything out again and started from scratch.

- I drilled 2 holes in each of the fog light sealing caps (big enough to fit the hid bulb wires through).

- Then I cut the wires from the HID bulb In half and fed them through the holes and soldered them back together.

- Then from the factory wiring harness I soldered those ends to the HID harness as well.

It was very simple and only took a little more work than using the butt connectors and factory fog light cap wiring clip. When I would turn on the fogs the harness that attaches to the fog light would actually make a buzzing noise due to excessive power running through it. It smelled like burning plastic and everything.

**My next thing will be to add in a HID relay harness to my headlight HID's as well as for the fog lights. My drivers side headlight tends to work intermittently when I start the car and the only way to turn it on is if I pop the hood and unplug and reconnect the harness from the ballast. (very annoying when its cold out)

 

Where did you folks mount the ballasts??
