pics HIR Bulbs Installed

skiz · 11-03-2006, 08:02 AM

I have yellow laminx film on both my fogs and headlights. And my camera sucks sony DSC-p72. The picture with the fogs on you can see how much more light is put on the ground versus stock halogen bulbs. The fogs used to blend in with the pattern but now they look weak.

These do light up the road and signs better, even in the rain.

but crap I could have spent 37 more clams and got the PNP HID kit. oh well... I still want to pull the bumper again and get the bulbs to fit perfectly(I got caught in the rain last time) so the bulbs can have more material taken off the base. I think that will change the focus and maybe more light... we'll see.

Has anyone else installed these specific bulbs on their FG2 or FG?

my si and work truck ~30' away

same but camera @ ground level

camera @ drivers turn signal

same as above but w/ fogs on

cutoff ~30'

If you do buy them and have an FG2 like me. You'll have to not only modify the oversized tab on the base but the part of the base just behind the bulb. The new bulbs have a lot more material in front of the o-ring. So that the bulb will not turn and lock into place all the way.
