well i ordered the 3000k kit for the fogs. should be here shortly. are they hard to install? im guessing not, everything looks plug and play. i don't have the template for cutting the holes out or drilling though like in the DIY. im sure i could figure it out though. .

paolo2k2 · 12-13-2008, 03:42 AM

if you dont care about adjusting the fogs dont worry about drilling lol

lionelp · 12-13-2008, 07:37 AM

Mine was plug and play. It was pretty easy to install. Just find a stable place for the ballasts

kentarou · 12-14-2008, 11:54 AM

is it cold enough yet?? took this pic last nite when i was sitting at a night.....

08SINHBP · 12-14-2008, 01:01 PM

well i tried to do my fog install yesterday and ran into a few hiccups. the white/red wire with the pin thats supposed to go into the harness broke (pin broke off) and 1 of the wires on the relay connector fell out. so now i have to figure out how to fix it. the fogs didn't line up very good at all either. had to bend brackets/ drill out the holes and they still didn't sit flush. but acceptable. i wouldn't recommend battleendless fogs at all. i got them to turn on while holding wires where they were supposed to go and the hid kit looks sweet though lol.

lionelp · 12-14-2008, 10:44 PM

well it was so cold that one of my HID fog lights burned out.

shitty deal. my headlight wasa flickering when i first started it today. was praying it didn't go out but it survived lol. got the fogs working too. a little bit of ghetto wireing but they stay on so im happy. some pics.

lionel, saw your csx at entrance 50 at the mall today!

lionelp · 12-15-2008, 12:50 AM

haha yah I get prime parking

lionelp · 12-15-2008, 01:53 AM

god... looks like it's worse than I thought. the ballast wire coming from the stock wiring connection looks like it's cracked from the cold

It's under warranty though so I'll have to get a new one sent out.

well i have the same problem as you now lol. only the passenger fog turns on since this morning. this temp is screwing everything up. brand new hid kit and a bulb doesn't work now. maybe it will work again when the temp goes back up. i hope so. i really don't want to take my bumper off again.

BlackComet · 12-15-2008, 11:58 AM

hmm well it's my first winter in edmonton and it's the coldest winter i've ever seen lol, it was so cold on friday night that I drove from city center to the north side base and the temperature of my car never passed 3 bars and actually dropped when I was going under 50kmh lol....and if anybody has or knows of a place where I can get a lens for my fog light, it would be great, i got a rock in one and it cracked the lens!!

aznives3 · 12-15-2008, 02:43 PM

man all you guys having problems with your lights and the cold weather...my fingers are crossed with hoping mine survive, they've been through hell and back though so hopefully they can take some more!

lionelp · 12-15-2008, 05:55 PM

well I managed to get some electrical tape and duct tape around the wire that cracked and hold it in place until winter ends hopefully. My car is usually outside

We'll see how long it holds up. I wasn't able to get the bumper off because it was too cold and there was ice on the clips on the bottom

BlackComet · 12-15-2008, 11:10 PM

wow you actually still have clips under your bumper, half of mine broke off with the rocks and ice and the other half broke from the millions of times i took my bumper off lol

lol, same. most of mine didn't make it back on. they are way too fragile.

lionelp · 12-16-2008, 11:56 PM

haha ya tell me about it. I dont wanna break anymore :S

08SINHBP · 12-22-2008, 01:45 PM

luck goes from bad to worse. i took the bumper off yesterday on my driveway and played with the kit. ballast must be fried, everything was connected good. put it back on and i was just going to buy regular bulbs today, but when i got to work one of the fogs looked funny, and i found out my drivers lens is smashed already. im not even going to worry about them till the spring i don't think. way too bummed out lol.

lionelp · 12-22-2008, 05:17 PM

should have got some laminx on there. I got mine on just before winter.

08SINHBP · 12-22-2008, 05:25 PM

ya, i should have. i was just anxious to get them in and it costed me lol. im going to pull them and make some lexan lenses. looks easy enough. i might just throw in some yellow bulbs for the time being and forget about getting new hid's till spring and its warm.
