Hid fog light bulbs

[chief_kris]

Anyone got bulbs to match there hids? And where from?

Cheers

I've got hids in my fogs. Requires taking the light apart and modifying it so the bulbs fit in, as they are longer

 

[chief_kris]

You got a link to them bud?

 

[vroomtshh]

I bought them years ago. But any h3 hids will do

Any pics? I'm interested if I remember correctly can you not just pop sidelights in as well?

Not unless you can get h3 sidelights?
I don't think I have any pics. They look like 6k headlight bulbs, only lower down

I have HIDs in my fogs. Like vroomtshh said, just takes a bit of modifying.

I've got some. Mine match perfectly! Did you not see them at the last meet you went to?

Mine aren't from same supplier, just happen to match! Both 6k.

Lol I'm a fud! I always wanted to do it but never got round to it as I thought it would be too hard to get a decent colour match...but then I suppose for all that I actually use them I may just give it a go!

You do know that if yiu use them as they should be used ie driving in FOG, then a white/blue is not the best. These will give off a lot of glare when driving. What is actually needed is a bulb/lamp with a yellowish colour.

I really recommend it actually. I use mine alongside my full beam all the time. Its nice to be able to see all angles of the roads

But the white light looks much nicer

Agreed, they're completely useless in fog. Especially since you need to cut out the 'diffuser' to fit them.

I think mine have been on twice. Both times to take photos. They're not really any use to light up the road either (but I don't like idiots who drive about with fogs on when it's not foggy)

Completely agree. They make it worse in fog haha.

Thats also a massive pet hate of mine , winds me up something rotten. If you want to use them when its not foggy do what i do and use them with full beam. No harm done !

I had a feeling that's reason in changing them. I must admit from the outside, pure white headlights and Foglights do look a lot better than yellow ones.

I'm guessing for HID Fog lights you don't need to worry about washers an/or levelling or any legal issues with them.
