For your fog lights, a lot of people will just throw in an HID bulb and be done with it. Keep in mind though HIDs are NOT desgned for glare housings that use halogen bulbs (heat won't be an issus with the glass, just plastic replacement covers are). Since HIDs are significantly brighter/more powerful, the glare to oncoming traffic can be uncomfortable if the light isn't directed properly, hence why projector lenses are used for HID/Xenon bulbs.
Up to you, personally I'm going to be grabbing a cheap set of low beam projectors and retro-ing them into the fog housings... Later on when my wallet isn't crying of course. Haha |
this was extremely helpful. thank you!!
regarding our headlights, I'm sure it would be beneficial to purchase the right projector for the HID but i'm not trying to break the bank.
Installing a 35w 6k HID set is fine with me if others have not run into any problems!
