I don't really have a good understanding of how to install the 3000K XENON HID h3 fogs.

Some question
1) for wiring is it?
(Red/red Blue/black) or
(Red/blue Red/black.)
2) where am I putting the 2 metal endings? Coming off each ballast

 

^ Whichever way makes it light up. However I would vote you use a relay harness to protect your wiring and ballasts.

 

Keep the red wires together.

 

if only it was that simple. where can i purchase a relay harness

 

thank you

Do I need to drill a hole in something or do I just plug and play.?

 

It should be just plug and play.

In this link you will see that, no, they are not exactly plug n play but nothing too difficult.

 

Boatload of FAIL gonna be happening on that HID upgrade

 

Sounds like it.

OP get a quality harness. I put a harness together using No-name relays. 6 months later I went out side in the morning and found one fog light on. Looks like one of my crappy relays took a crap. Trust me you should not need to put HIDs especially in 3K into the fogs. Those 3K's you have look green to me when they light up. They produce too much glare due to the fluted lenses to do any amount of good lighting. If its foggy or raining and you turn them on all your going to do is blind yourself. I am yanking mine out and going with a set of 2700k halogens. Unless you do a retro and put some mini H1 projectors into them I would leave them alone.

See the color?



They have been on for 10 minutes already so they where already "warmed" up.

And new Fog light blazers that I think I am going to order right now since I have never seen these before!

Are you sure because some other guys on the org used the ones I have..?. But I'll post pone the installation and look into something better. I still want a golden yellow because I got yellow laminX tint

 

I think I am going to go with a new pair of fog lights... Just re-do everything involving my fogs. If you guys say these are bad bulbs then what should I get that will give me a nice yellow color that is behind LaminX tint?. also what fog(the whole thing) replacement is the best for OEM.

 

is there a problem with the procedure in the above link, I did it this way and it obviously worked, but worked and 'right' aren't always the same. I have installed aftermarket HID without a relay harness many of time with no problem(I guess what I am saying is that you don't always need a relay harness). In this case is it a must?

 

Foglight hid=FAIL and you need a relay harness because the factory wiring is not always going to supply the correct amount of amperage for the system

 

I just want yellow FOGS. I don't care if it's HID or not. Can anyone on here offer me the same setup they have for there yellow fogs

 

I'd say keep your regular h3 bulb's and just tint the lenses yellow, $10 yellow tint film on ebay.

It's called search.

 

I've see that thread and I have searched and researched to infinity and beyond on this situation. I have Yellow lamin-X tint already. And I was going to add on the Lexus capsules, but they are no where to be found for purchase. so I got these poopy bulbs and am now out $40 looking for a nice nice setup that someone has.

 

Have you though of getting a reputable HID kit and putting 3k bulbs in?

 

Got $200 for a fog retro with yellow lens Lexus ES300 projectors?

 

I have these and like them. http://www.amazon.com/Nokya-Arctic-Y...8999650&sr=1-3

 

Yes I thought XENON was reputable. Haha guess not though. And yeah 3k was what I was looking for. It what those ^^^ are

 

Lucky you. Lexus capsules was my first choice but I can't find them anywhere. So I went with these and it was a mistake

 

Xentec is terrible. My mother has their kits in her headlights and fogs. They flicker and one fog went out but I haven't bothered with it. She just had a headlight go out the other day so I replaced it with some old spare I had here. Her replacement passenger side has made the light output brighter and whiter with no flicker while her driver side is dimmer and bluer with flicker.

The bulbs look like the proper short ones so they're useful with good ballasts.

I have these projectors here that I can retro into your fogs for you for $200. That's what I was telling you lol That's my offer.

 

Lol wow, Xenon is the name of the noble gas which is heated using high voltage to produce light. Xentec is the crappy ebay brand to avoid however.

 

Halogen

Neon SRT-4

 

Oooh haha...Any picture? And are you saying that I should use these bulbs with them. Because I thought someone said these bulbs are bad

 

PM me if you're seriously interested. I have them retro'd into my fogs with 3000K HIDs and they're intense. Super deep yellow and perform extremely well.

The bulbs are fine. It's the ballasts that are crap, trust me.

 

Just get some h3 yellow bulbs your obviously never going to install the hid kit which is easy just got to do some splicing of wires.

 

I was going to install them.. I was looking forward to it. But why bother if it'll only cause problems cause the ballasts I have are sh**

 

Im not talking about hid bulbs im saying get some yellow 3k xenon h3 bulbs not hid bulbs

 

I'm not a big fan of yellow fogs (not factoring visibility), but the best output I've seen from a "simple" setup was 5k hids behind Lexus yellow capsules with the shield removed. Ton of light on the road and a deep golden yellow color. If you want to get a little more fancy, projectors are your best bet.

 

You don't think I should do hid?.. Just replace the bulb

Lexus yellow glass capsule FTW.

 

As said before, check with salvage yards. Start on www.car-part.com and get some salvaged Lexus LS300 fog lamps with the yellow capsules. Done.
