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. .

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

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.

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.

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 50 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!!

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

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.
