they used to sell a kit on ebay. The make was "Bling Lights"

One of the vendors here used to sell them. I purchased the "Hamann" or something like that kit, and the lights didnt fit. They were too big, and the wire harness was ghetto.

but doesn't having projectors as fogs defeat the purpose of having fog lights??

Depends on the projector.

Lots of cars these days come with projector fogs....

-Fog lights are dsigned to deliver a wide yet short beam

-Drving lights are designed to deliver a narrow yet long beam

That being said, there are many projectors that can meet those requirements.

Keep in mind those he sells are driving lihgts, not fog lights. so the beam will be narrow yet long. I'm not sure what your oals for lighting are so this might be exactly what your looking for. The output of them is "ok" but nothing too exciting IMHO.


in any case, here are some pics of those units he sells...

I have a set of the DarkSyde HID Fog's. I rarely turn them on. My biggest problem with them is they only come in 6000K. My retros are 4300K so when they are on they make my retros look like halogens. I have used them a couple of times on the road late at night and they do light up the road well. You cant really turn them on around other traffic though becouse they are driving lights. Another benefit is they are glass so they dont chip or scratch like plastic.

Why not just change over to the 3000k capsules, yellow fogs with HID lows looks pimp.

Thats awsome. Last time I talked to you only 6000K was offered. I will have to switch to 3000K.
