in the simplest terms possible, a relay harness helps prevent misfire's and flickering of the lights.

btw, is this just a normal setup for any h11 bulb or is it for fogs only?

Those are awesome, plug and play is great.

I need to get me a set of these for sure.

I see the H11 kit on the website, but I'm not clear if it comes with the relay harnesses or not. In the description, it says relay harnesses are included free with the bi-xenon kit, but I do not see any option for that kit in the dropdown menu. Am I missing something??

I'm basically just looking to get the H11 fog light kit and relay harnesses for my 08 SS T/C. If I have to order it as the H11 kit for $59 and the relays for $16, thats fine too, just confused as to what comes with the kit.

Tells you on the website what comes with it. To order just add a H11 kit and a relay to your cart.

I had problems getting them into the socket as well. I ended up having to play with the little orange thing to get them in. It was a PITA but I'm happy with the results. Before and after pics will be posted when it gets dark

Just installed my HID fogs, now I'm waiting for the projectors to arrive.

A little confusing on the install because I didn't know I had to twist the old bulbs out.
I've never changed a vehicle light before, so I felt a little dumb.

Well you sent them to me LOL
I'd hope so..

The projectors need to arrive..


I'm also unsure of the legality of the red halo's.. but it MIGHT be okay.


seeing as cops don't drive around like they do in the states, rarely you will see any polizei

Mostly the Military Police on post..
and i doubt they would even care


On a side note, the headlight bracket on the opposite side didn't need to be removed to install the HID bulbs.

here is a night shot

would a 55w setup produce too much heat for our small fog light housing?
