3000k hids in stock foglights = epic failure? - SRT Forums

Crimsonghost · 08-26-2009, 08:56 AM

hey guys, since im doing my retro, im thinking that the stock fogs will become 100% useless,..

If i order and install a 3000k 880 hid kit will the beams be crazy and blinding to oncoming drivers?

Thanks!

The only thing i see useless in the post is u puttn a chinese hid kit in a halogen housing. So what about all the cars that come stock w hid's and halogen fog's? I personally am leavin mine the way they are as they should be yellow enough compared to my retro's.

the stock halogen fogs as it is are usless, Im looking for a bit more output, and my thinking would be, if they are aimed DOWN as they should be they should be anywhere near out of control as somone putting hids in regular stock halogen headlight housings.

trust me im all against putting hids in stock housings...... Alot of people try to use the fogs as a driving light, they are not designed as such.

it should be fine if they're aimed lower, or if you fab up a casper shield

i have 6K in my fogs as well as my headlights...im working on a retro right now because the output with a projector is SO much more clear..but if your doing a 3K in the fogs aimed correctly you will be fine. i rarely ever get flashed with mine. so i dont see why you should have any problems..

Step one: Go to eBay and buy el cheap-o projector fogs for SRT

Step 2: Buy el cheap-o HID kit for said fogs

Step 3: Install and realize that they're even more useless now, but totally bitchin' anyways.

Step 4: (optional) Drink beers.

I have 3k fogs in mine, And they are WIN. no failing here. Coolness. and looks pretty.

BigBird03 · 08-28-2009, 03:04 PM

Oh yeah and they do blind people, But honestly, Who cares! You can see, and thats all that matters. lol

marakka · 08-28-2009, 03:07 PM

*LOL* Bigbird are win.

Not really sure WTF is going on in this thread. 3k in the fogs won't really hurt anything. If you really want to get them working good, do the lexus retro into them and slap in some clean 4300k bulbs.

BigBird03 · 08-28-2009, 06:52 PM

I R win? lol well damn!

marakka · 08-29-2009, 07:13 AM

Yeah... you used the word pretty in your post.

Crimsonghost · 08-29-2009, 07:30 AM

you guys got to remember, im looking for the foglights to be used as designed as FOG LIGHTS, lol, it seems like alot of people want to slam hid bulbs in and aim them up as driving lights..

I want something that would still be functional as im going to be running 55watt projectors in my retro, and I think 35watt 3500k fogs would offer GREAT visibility in the blinding snow this winter up here in the poconos.

BigBird03 · 08-29-2009, 09:59 AM

Look at how bright they are....you am them right and they are as functional as functional gets!

marakka · 08-29-2009, 11:13 AM

Thats why I said to do the retro on them. You'll have a nice crisp clear low cutoff and keep them as far under the snow fall as possible.

BigBird03 · 08-29-2009, 12:44 PM

I like blinding people, i got rid of my projectors lol
