Default Will this fit my 2IS Fog lights?

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone would go with ebay hid kits? I mean it does come with 1 year warranty. What can go wrong?

But, does anyone know if this will fit a 2IS fog light?

I have never changed my fogs on any of my car or head lights. Can anyone tell me what is bad quality on a hid?

what kind of fogs do you guys have? any brand recommendation? i really don't want to spend $200 on some xenon depot HID.

the bulb might not be the correct temperature as legit HID bulbs
The ballast might not be water proof or shock proof, so one slight drop of water can fry the whole ballast.

The warranty is most likely from China, so you would need to send the kit back to them, if they honor it.

bulbs arent really as high intensity.

FYI: a lot of users find some eBay hid kits to be really reliable but some havent.

So its hit and miss on HID kits. Just do it right the first time and get them from a reliable source.


MobileHID and xenon depot both has HID deals going for the forum, so check the vendor forum

I had this kit on on my 250 as fogs. The 6000k aren't really white with a slight blue hue but sorta purplish instead. Looked nice but didn't match my lows but dealt with it anyways. By the way it was those slim ballast, it was the regular big ones. My mom's 04 Pilot has a set. If you want a pic of it I'll be glad to take one or some.

Get if from our vendor Cliff on here. I think its 125$ shipped and you know the quality and someone that will be there when you have any trouble. He warranties his product also! for another 50$ you get piece of mind and a quality product that many other CL members have used. Check out his thread in the vendor section under HID FOGS!!!!

I agree, any HID kit for $25 on ebay is going to be of poor quality and you risk the color being off....

You def. dont want to go cheap/poor quality on the HID's or they will be blowin out on you every couple of months....and you dont want to be bothered changing bulbs all the time.

And if you dont want to dish out the money for a good set, then dont bother and just wait until you have the money, or decide you want to spend that kind of money.

Either way its up to you, we are only here to help/advise/opinionate lol.

I ordered two sets of HID kits(fogs + headlights) from ebay before and it has lasted me over 1yr. And they match up pretty good. I guess its a hit and miss with the poor quality.
