HID / Xenon Foglight Information & Install

[sngo1212]

This might be a repost, sorry, but, does anybody know where to place the HID ballasts for the foglights? Will I need to remove my bumper to mount them on somewhere? Or do you just use mounting tape for them? Let me know ! thanks!

Mount them any place you can that will keep them the driest. I use zip ties to mount my ballasts and check them every month.

Nice, I barely see any room to put them though... can you possibly get a picture? If it's too much that's fine. thank you for the input !

wow im digging up a 7 month old thread, but at least i used the 'search' option LOL
i installed a 35watt slim ballast 5000k kit. i had a couple ballasts laying around, so i figured id order the cheapest H11 bulbs i could find on ebay.



THIS IS THE LIGHT ON THE GROUND. IM GONNA RAISE THEM A TAD LATER.

Just to give an idea for someone how much light you can get from fog lights hid only...here's my old setup:

pizdets. i was shocked to see how much light actually came out of our fogs. really added about 25% more visibility.

o da:) btw right now i have led lights from vleds which i purchased for like $20 but the burned out the same night I turned them on. So I think I'll go back to hid but I have to buy new fogs for my new '11 bumper.

thats why im not into LED's yet. to much junk out there. the ones that are good quality LED's still cost to much to be cost effective.

UPDATE: gotta say, i love the HID fogs. really shines well to the outsides.

I too can vouch for the effectiveness of installing PnP HID kit into the factory fog lamps. They're so good, that after my dad saw them, he replaced the aftermarket fogs he had installed into his S with a factory fog kit + PnP HID kit!

YOU CAN ZIP TIE THEM ANYWHERE YOU WANT. THEY ARE WATER/SHOCK PROOF. ANYTHING THATS CONVENIENT IS FINE.

[ImStricken06]

this is how i have mine setup:

just remove one of the screws holding the foglight bracket, and stick the screw through the ballast mount tab

I ran hid fogs but theyre wayyy to bright id find myself blinding people in the on coming traffic lane at night.

Yea it looks good and what not but Im not trying to be responsible for someone else crashing. I even got a ticket for my fogs being too bright.
