Nokya Stage 2?

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about just doing some Nokya stage 2 bulbs for my car, but I don't wanna run into issues later. What's the best way to prevent this. Is there like a new wire harness I can get.

Not too familiar with the disclaimer (melting) or electricity. I have stock housing now and don't wanna put HIDs in stock housings.

Tips tricks, would be greatly appreciated.

Why not just go HID in the OEM fog light housings?... And from your sig it looks like you already have retros... so H1 HIDs in them... Not sure why you'd pay that much for halogen when HIDs are so cheap.

Well I just realized those are 9006, I need 9007 for stock harness, but I did find these which are ceramic

So my sig is a little dated, I am using black stock headlight housings now. I sold my retrofits about 4-5 months ago.

My fogs are still HID, I just don't wanna put HIDs in my stock headlight housings. I feel like I need projectors for that. I don't wanna spend money on retrofits again seeing how I sold them to begin with if you catch my drift.

So the cheapest best option I can think of is getting higher output bulbs for my stock lights.

I had the Stage 2, they were really bright, one of the bulbs blew up on the housing and believe me it is not fun to clean it AT ALL lol... Even with the wire harnesses you will still run into issues, notice that most of them come with a 30 days warranty, its for a reason lol....I then put 55 watts hids in there and called it a day till I got projectors...

That's my experience with them

Good luck either way bro !

Respect for that.

As for the projectors, I'd just get them from TRS and do it on my spare time, WAY cheaper that way... That's if you keep the car... I think my retro's ran me under $200 for everything and a lot of my free time on nights and weekends...
