POLL!!!!!! Fog Lights!!!!

[mitchell_ep3]

car is a 03 ssm ep3 with hfp front, so modification will be necessarys, BUT

i dont know wether to go clear leanse or yellow lense.... 3000k hid's will be going in the fogs, headlights currently have 6000k HID's

just not sure on the lense color.
let me know your guys pickings...

Unless you do a projector mod I would NEVER put HIDs in a reflector fog... it's gonna be really ugly on glare.

i would say if you didn't blacken out your headlights then stay with the clear lense. If you did then go with the yellow lense.

Can I use the OEM fogs installation pdf with ebay fogs?

[PatrickJamesYu]

For the most part
There is more to the oem instructions than the ebay kit requires

I pieced together the the 02-03 and the 04-05 pdf instructions to put the lights in my '05. There are definitely more instructions than are required as the aftermarket-(Ebay) wiring is abbreviated.

sorry chad, i forgot to add to my modifying statement. of course i'll have to modify the fog lights to fit, but i bought his eg6 fog lights that he bought and doent want them anymore, why i dont know, but they are just ebay projectors.

so i was going to try and use the ep3 housing, and take the lense off the ep3 reflective housing and automotive urethane the ep lense to the ep bracket. then i was going to somehow mount the eg projector right behind the ep lense some how. i dont have the ep3 fog lights yet, but from pictures i'm pretty sure i can make these work.

what i've noticed from everyone elses OEM fogs (mini vans cars trucks) they dont have a cut off, the regular hallogen fog lights are by far more harder on the eyes than their headlights are at night.... so if i were to go the HID route to match my 6000k's i would not allow myself to be the hated one on the road with blinding fog lights...

i have hid's in my stock headlight housings, and i havnt had any complaints after having them for over 2 years.. but the fog lights are definately going to be different.

and to add, this is the thread i'm somewhat going to follow

the cut off wont be as great becasue, well its ebay eg fogs i have, but it will drastically help.

Think the bulb size is h11. Thts wat mine say. Yellow fogs r soo dope. During the day they look alrite. At night is when they look hella siick. Imm rockin them.

After installing a set of EDM Hid headlights, the fog lights were useless, I could lower the cutoff and easily outperform the factory foglight. So I tossed the fog's and went with a set of Hella Hid driving lights in the lower grill. With the headlights on high(both highs and low beam), and the driving lights on, there is a serious amount of retina burning candlepower hitting the road!

has anyone ever seen green fogs? I saw them once in south florida looked crazy sick with some blue hid's not sure the ####k, but they were dope... they were on a blue ep. i'd pick those... if not id pick the yellow fogs...
