fog light HID

Opticon · 05-14-2008, 01:14 AM

i was wondering if there is any cons of having HID fogs. im about to order hid's for my low beams and i want them to match the fog lights. if it is possible, what type of bulb is the fog lights?

Tredd · 05-14-2008, 02:43 AM

it is possible i think the bulbs are H11. But i heard that if you have aftermarket foglamps the glares going to be horrible to oncoming motorists.

they r honda fogs, i had the dealership install them. or are u talking about aftermarket bulbs?

Tredd · 05-14-2008, 12:31 PM

i think if u order a HID kit, the bulb size is going to be H11, which are the ones for the fog's. Do a little more research, im pretty sure on the H11 but i could be wrong...

The bulb size is H11. I have HID on aftermarket housing and it glares like mofo. So i dont turn them on unless it is needed.

P1ng · 05-14-2008, 05:23 PM

I wouldnt do that. u would look pretty dumb having hid fogs. the light will just reflect off the fog and wouldnt be good for when there actually is fog.

Opticon · 05-14-2008, 10:31 PM

it would even glare with genuwine honda fogs?

NcSi · 05-14-2008, 10:33 PM

yea if its *halogen housing it will!!!! lol

NcSi · 05-14-2008, 10:34 PM

Opticon · 05-14-2008, 10:41 PM

i know this is off topic but what is ftw stand for?

^ hahaha For The Win. Im actually going to run HID's in my fogs real soon! The 6000k's I have in my headlights dont look to good or match at all with my stock halogen fogs! If they all matched it'd be way better!

NcSi · 05-14-2008, 10:44 PM

i got tsx retro headlights with blazer retro's fogs

so thats 4300k for heads and 3k for fogs......it looks amazing!!!!

So those 3k's match with the 4300k's? There pretty close I guess

Opticon · 05-14-2008, 10:47 PM

when r u thinking about doing it? u can be the guinny pig lol jk, but im ordering hids real soon and want to know if its worth it to get the hids for the fogs, money is not an issue, i just dont want to waste it or time lol

NcSi · 05-14-2008, 10:49 PM

nahh the 3k is yellow and the 4300k is like pure white and gets that retro blue flicker to to it....

but they look great together......when i first turn the fogs on its kinda funny cause the projector is a blueish lens and when i turn the fogs on the light starts out green i guess cause the blue lens mixing with the yellow light..........then it turns mad yellow

are the blazer projectors w/e you have on your foglights oem projectors? im guessing their from a chevy trail blazer? if so how much those go for? are they better than Bosch Mini H3 Projectors

NcSi · 05-15-2008, 06:54 PM

no blazer is the brand and their retrod into some k2 a/m fogs

inyong1988 · 05-15-2008, 06:59 PM

NcSI, What kinda hid did you put on ur fogs? Im about to order some for my fogs as well.

NcSi · 05-15-2008, 07:03 PM

its a cheap ebay kit.......like the slimlime or something. it was only like 85 shipped and the ballast is really small so i figured the small ballast would be nice since i will have 4 now lol and i dont use my fogz to much so why spend a fortune and they got like a 2year warranty
