Fog Light Mod + HID's

[OnyxCobra]

it could be either, the ballasts for the hids is the same no matter the light. The ballasts are very "noisey" electronically and put out a fairly strong magnetic signal when turned on that can interfear with sensors. Mounted behind all the lead of the battery though they are not that big of a deal.

Am curious because unlike the headlight kit the fog lights don't have a separate power source running to the battery.

they they are not HID, they are just a halogen bulb that has the same color output as HID. The ballast is what makes HID different, if it is not there is is not HID

Cool idea putting HID's in the fogs. I was going to do something like this:

I'm sure not as many lumens output as HID's, but a nice change from the stock ones, and probably brighter as well. Also consumes less energy than the incandescents.

love the fact that the fogs are on without the head lights. anyone have a write up any where on how to do this. i could get the wiring diagram and figure it out but hell if some one has a pictoral walkthrough im game

do you notice a diff at night with them? was thinking of getting HID fogs till I can afford proper projectors.

This is the write up I used

I have not driven with them at night yet but I will let you know once I do.

Looks very nice, now lets see some pictures of the fusion.

they actually are brighter, install the same way with the exception of mounting the ballast and have a fairly good cut-off in the factory housing for me. I went through Sktuning on ebay and they were great to answer questions and quick to ship, lifetime warranty and good price.

what you talkin about?

 

[Dr.Scientist]

Aren't there some aftermarket fog lights for the GT bumper? I mean actual housings, so that you get a clearer lens.

Oh I love having one of the many cars without ABS...

 

[98SlowStang]

yea me too 3000k HIDs in my fogs and 8000k in my headlights and no abs for me lol

 

[OnyxCobra]

yea me too 3000k HIDs in my fogs and 8000k in my headlights and no abs for me lol

do you have to run a power cable to your battery for the fog lights or did they just plug in?

 

[JonBeast]

DDM FTMFW...30 bucks, lifetime warranty...how can you go wrong? I have 2 different sets laying around my garage haha

yea me too 3000k HIDs in my fogs and 8000k in my headlights and no abs for me lol

There are 2 prongs that plug directly into the stock fog wiring harness...its SO easy to install. I just put my 3000k fogs onto the 98, took me about 30 minutes.

what you talkin about?

you said your fog lights do not have the seperate power source, IE - the ballast that HID lights require. They make halogen lights that are in the same color/wavelength of light as HID that they might even say HID, but if there is no ballast to control the light they are not HID.

 

[OnyxCobra]

JB that's what I thought, and you have no ABS light?

They are HIDs.

 

[ttocs]

so they do have ballasts? I must have misunderstood you then...

 

[OnyxCobra]

yeah they are just like the headlight kits but there isn't a power wire running to the battery, they just plug into the foglight bulb harnesses.

 

[ttocs]

I upgraded all the wiring going to all the lights so the relays mounted next to the battery pulls all the current.

 

[jo shmo]

i need to get a wiring kit for my fogs like i have on my headlights to were they pull power straight from the battery
