is this your first-time removing the bumper?illmaticone said:will do, hopefully will be done Saturday depending on weather and how much time i have. maybe ill do a DIY if i have the time as well.
its gonna be 8000k low beams, with 3000k fogs
Yes it is, thanks for the advice!striker_1818 said:is this your first-time removing the bumper?
If so, when all the little screws are out, and you still cannot pull the bumper out of the car, that's because on each side by the edge of the headlight, there is a tab that. In other words, you need to apply some force pulling it. You'll hear a clamp, then take it out carefully.
please keep me in mind when you do this. i also want to do the same exact thing. i have an ex coupe without any fogs at all and i would love some yellow hids.illmaticone said:I'm sure some have done this, I'm going with yellow HID fogs. is it just as easy or more difficult than head lights? do i need to remove the bumper? is there room for the ballast to be mounted etc?

so do you recommend starting out with oem or aftermarket fog lights?Tim said:I have had both a PnP kit and now a retrofit HID setup in my fogs. It's not that difficult to mount everything, especially if your kit comes with brackets, double-sided tape and other mounting parts.

They sell a wide variety of products and the H3 error is a copy and paste error I guess. A lot of people have them on the boards, me included. They work great. Just K2Motor itself as a seller really sucks - slow service, shipping and communication. They also have a tendency to sell out of stock products.-Bionic- said:Is this right? It says OEM, but the price seems way to low, and I thought the OEMs used H11 bulbs; not H3. Shouldn't he have stated OEM style?
Anywho does anyone the fittment on these? do they fit like OEM on the car?
Thanks
