can we run HID's in our stock fogs?

 

Yes! Relay harness is recommended, stay away from HIDS in your stock headlights though, I perfer retro fitting projectors or a set of the ebay projector headlights.

 

Yes
They are H11 bulbs
H11 HID Kit

 

im not really sold on the ebay projectors because the looks are meh to me, i love the retros though xD

 

Retrofit Headlights

 

what does the relay harness DO exactly?
lost: does the BuyHID kit come as a pair for both lamps?

 

gives the ballast a constant 12v power supply from the battery
the kit comes with 2 bulbs and 2 ballast

 

I believe it just gives you a better power source or sends the same on/off signal to the other. I'm not 100% sure, so I'm taking a best guess from what I have read in the past.

Edit: ^^ what he said.

 

Constant 12 volt source. On off is still controlled by stock foglight harness. Relay harness wil prevent them from flickering

 

and is safer for the stock wires

 

also you dont want to be "that guy" that has a foglight out every other day.


I used to deliver pizza, had crap hid fogs, once a week or so id pull up see my reflection in the window and see that i had a fog out, flash it and it would come right one, its just annoying though.

 

that happens to me so i just dont use them at the moment haha. need to get a relay im guessing

 

wow, so from buyhid's it's only like 82$ for the kit, holy crap xD

 

is that sarcastic? and is $82 with a relay?

 

well, prolly more but meh.

 

been running ddm hid's in my fogs for probably 2-3 years no with no harness, was a bit nervous at first, but i've never had any issues with anything. no flickering, always light. always run a harness with my headlights, but i think if you get at least a decent kit for the fogs, you should be fine. but, running a harness will never hurt.

 

what about aiming issues?? and will they be brighter than my stock halogens?

 

I have a relay harness and sometimes my one fog won't work. **** happens. I guess I need to put some electrical grease in the connections. It's weird

 

Maybe I need a relay harness too. Is it one wire harness kit per set of HID'S? So I would need two wire harnesses per car?? I have two cobalts

 

We always give deals to people who PM us! ALSO we sell the Morimoto kits which are OEM spec. They are the top of the line!

 

Morimoto ballasts are BADASS! the newer styles ones have built in quick fire, so they are really like OEM, no 7 second warm up like other ballasts.

I also think they are overkill for fogs though (price), id use them in headlights only, and just run generic fogs.

 

I always heard negative things about HID's in our stock headlights. If not im gonna order me some. tired of regular yellow headlights. I want some HID's back!

 

don't run hid's in stock head lights without retros or projectors.

 

I have HID's in my stock headlights. Still pretty bright

 

There's a difference between brightness and good output. It's not just how much light you have it's where it's distributed.

Anyways as far as the actual subject of this thread goes hids are fine to run in our fogs. Won't hurt anything, though I am interested in how the chrome reflector bowl holds up after a few years. Remember that the more light you add closer to the car the harder it is to see in the distance, plus brighter light will make it actually harder to see in fog because the fog will reflect more light back at you.
