has anyone retrofitted HID bulbs into the factory fogs?
Posted by: audinutt (1388) on 2010-02-08 00:49:55	Share \| Report

I ordered some replacement d2s bulbs from ddm tuning for my headlights. Since they were only $15.00 a pair.
So, I went ahead and ordered some bulbs for the fogs too (I have a spare pair of ballasts from another HID kit).

Will I be blinding people with these? any aiming tips?

- I have HID fogs in the S8...you'll be fine. - TighTT 2010-02-08 09:37:49 (55 views)
  - Sure YOU'RE fine, what about the rest of us poor slobs? :) Yup, due to warm up time, change wiring - Bruce M. 2010-02-08 10:00:24 (18 views)
    - Trust me Bruce...it doesnt blind. I had a buddy drive it towards me...no problem. - TighTT 2010-02-08 11:21:56 (35 views)
- fogs are supposed to be yellow - Angus 2010-02-08 09:20:49 (14 views)
  - supposed to reduce the ammount that is reflected back at you by the fog - Zaphod A8 2010-02-08 09:23:16 (13 views)
- Fog lights = for driving in fog, not for driving in traffic ... - Zaphod A8 2010-02-08 09:20:03 (31 views)
  - (I think the worst offenders are subaru outbacks, or maybe ford superdutys) - Zaphod A8 2010-02-08 09:23:59 (14 views)
- you could always try hoen xenonmatch fog bulbs... - a4000 2010-02-08 09:00:43 (22 views)
- I've wondered this myself. I hate fog lights that are yellow while headlights are bright white/blue. - Tomas7 2010-02-08 07:56:18 (26 views)
- What on earth do you need such powerfull fogs for anyway. Fogs are useless in general. - DutchDoofus 2010-02-08 02:25:07 (32 views)
  - It's not for power, it's a look. Foglights aim down anyway, no? Blinding people will not occur??? - Tomas7 2010-02-08 08:00:41 (12 views)
    - It's a look. Yep, a stupid "wannabe rice-car with plastic tuning" look. Not suited for a classy car. - DutchDoofus 2010-02-09 11:21:14 (10 views)
- You will be blinding people most likely. Fogs can't be aimed unless you rig something. - Bruce M. 2010-02-08 01:07:02 (12 views)
  - good mod on the facelift D2, a bit much on the early D2 - BrainMushmouthIsTehDevil 2010-02-08 09:16:26 (26 views)
