880 Fog Light Hids

[gaowners32]

I'm looking to match my hid headlights with some hid fog lights.

Has anyone used these yet?

those look pretty cool. but i'm with you, do they really work?

[ryanbgb22]

what do you mean by do they work?

they will be bright/glare like crazy, as discussed numerous times. If you were to get them I'd get really low Kalvin (sp) ones....somewhere in the 3000K range...which this person apparently doesnt even offer.

Quite a few people have used HIDs in their fogs..as for that seller I'm not sure.

Those are generally yellow, right?

yes...blue light doesnt cut through fog at all.

[gaowners32]

but the price seems so cheap.




edit: ok shipping is where they get you.

You can put the HID in the fog lights and it will light up a bit more, but nothing to really boast about. It doesnt give a patteren like your headlight does. Now If you change the fogs ( Stock fog lights) to Diffrent ones, then you will see a diffrence.

[drumking1721]

Id go for the yellow ones,i think they lookk hot

[llsht14]

what are the best output fogs to get?

[drumking1721]

as for as?? do you mean color distance or what?

[llsht14]

i mean if i want to get fog lights to replace my stock ones and i want them to be yellow because that is what cuts through the fog the best. and i want the best output.

Would stock housings with hid 3000k be best

or would a different housing with just a normal 3000k bulb be best

or a aftermarket housing and hid 3000k bulb

[drumking1721]

Stock you can get away with using with the HID bulb. If you bought an aftermarket housing you would have a clearer light,because you wouldnt have scratches and stuff,but its really how much money you want to put into it. The HID will always be clearer and brighter,if you got a halogen 3000k if wouldnt be as bright and crisp. Personally i think im just going to end up buying a 3000k hid kit for the fogs

[gaowners32]

whats that clay you put onto plastic that cleans up the outside and makes it clear again?

[whoisryan]

what if im looking for a yellow bulb that fits right in for the stock one... i want yellow fogs but dont want to do all the work that im not so good at.

then buy the yellow bulbs....unless i didnt understand what you were asking.

[gaowners32]

I ordered the Ricer o I mean JDM Gold 880 hids, once they are installed and aligned i'll have pictures up. Question where the hell do i mount the ballasts for the fog lights?

[drumking1721]

uhhhh find a spot that works...haha

[gaowners32]

I had a hard enough time finding spots to mount my hids for the headlights. Thank god for self tapping screws

[lone_wolf025]

Personally, I just zip tied them to the metal brace inside of the fenders right behind the headlamp asmbly. I'll dig up a pic in bit

I did the same exact thing. My kit came with some big zip ties.

[lone_wolf025]

Yea...I think that's the easiest way to do it.

To the OP: Whatever fogs you get, hold onto the old stock bulbs. If you have trouble locking the new bulbs into place swap the old stock gasket onto the new bulb.

[whoisryan]

what do you think of these... and would they fit right in for the stock bulbs? the page says they fit right in but i was just wondering if any1 had experience with them.

Any 8 series bulb should fit.

Those aren't HIDs though, they are xenon lights.

If you're looking for HIDs, check out this website. I've got a pair of 880 bulbs for my fogs and I love them.

[whoisryan]

yea that would be awsome.. everyone seems to recamend HIDs but aaa... i work at target getting 3 work days a week.. so thats a little costly for me. that and im not the most skilled electrition. lol so anything plug and play is great for me lol

[JRYAN34]

i was looking to get 8k hids fogs, but i dont get how the blue doesnt show through. so you basically saying if i was to buy them they wouldnt look anything near my 8k hid headlights

[ScathDeSolas]

Dude you may as well get HID headlights.. Those things would be super bright and could be used as headlights! Go with yellow tint or something for fogs.
