I've searched and searched but there are so many freakin threads about foglights that I'm more confused now than I was before I searched. (in addition to the fact that most of the threads are from 2004 now)



Any input would be greatly appreciated.

are the $40 ebay ones garbage?

yeah if u get fogs, halogen would suffice.

but obviously as you know, if you are going HID, you gotta go with projectors.

also HIDs get bluer with time. your 3400k fogs might start out yellow, but as they age, blue will be introduced and well basically.... yellow+blue=green

The eBay (and OEM?) fogs are reflectors. HIDs + reflectors = glare that can be dangerous for other drivers, both for headlights and fogs. To safely use HIDs you have to either rig up a glare shield or just get projector assemblies to replace the reflectors.

I have been using the ebay ones and have suffered one DESTROYED lamp due to a rock hit and am currently rocking a cracked lens. I'm going projector when i get off of my lazy can.

I would not pit an HID in there for the simple fact fo ruining a lamp that costs more than the assembly.

just retro some small Koito projectors from luxury car's fog lights. shove some pnp hid kit in it. then u would have an effect dual cutoff line (low beam and fog light)

before the crash someone posted up taking the ebay fogs and retroing the BMW fog light projectors in there.
Looked sick, it was amber, the cut off was amazing and you could pop some HID in there and light up the ground like it was hiroshima all over again. (sorry for that comment if it offends, but i had to write it)

fogs are for retards that want to be rally drivers, but only end up being the stereotypical, neighborhood, fart-can driven, ricer. :mangel:

Don't have many deer hiding in the ditches in CA eh?

ONE thing the fogs do well is illuminate the sides and cover the ditches well, saved my ass from suicidal deer more than once.

My headlight projectors light up anything and everything. No, we don't have deers (we do have deers, but at higher elevation) . . . just cattle, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and the occasional buffalo (very rare these days), which hurts more than deers.

do you mean you?
i was fairly sure someone else posted the DIY, but i do remember reading something saying you were going to try it or you had done it or somtehing.

fog lights are nice, but i dont like it when people use them all the time.
I'm a firm believe in using them in.
A. the fog.
B. The rain, although when the droplets are large enough it makes things worse.
C. Dark country roads with deer.
D. Roads that are very twisty where you cant see where the road is curving.
E. When you wanna look cool to someone.
But not all the damn time.

Our deer are considerably larger than mountain deer, BUT cows, yes, if there is a fence break people have slim chances against a cow while traveling at 60+MPH Coyotes, check, believe it or not we DO have a rare mountain lion issue (must be global warming) but it's them damn white-tail that do in the most of the damage, just pop right out at you, some even jump OVER cars! Some people drive a beater during harvest season (the combines drive the deer out of the fields) as to not bash up a good car. And yes, if you hit a deer and get it to the meat locker soon enough...... we do eat road-kill
