Default 4300K HID Fogs Installed.. Pics..

Installled the Xenon Depot 4300k fogs last night.. took about 2hr taking my time and removing all the plastic sheilding under the front for easier access. Very happy with the results.. Fogs match the Low Beams perfectly now and are much brighter.. On the drivers side i just stuck everything to the side of the window washer fluid tank.. it was a clean flat surface and looked like it stayed dry as there were no water marks/stains on it. On the passenger side it's all stuck to the top side of the wide square plastic tubing of the brake vents.. again another flat area that looked like it stays pretty dry. Ran the wires (lead to positive on battery) along both sides and lock-tied them where i could.. Pretty clean install, can't see anything at all once all the plastic engine covers are back on. I used industrial outdoor 3M double sided tape in addition to what was included to secure everything.. Results below.. Now, what's the hack to get the fogs to stay on with the brights ?

Before (with PIAA White Bulbs)..


After..

DRLs (Same bulb as brights) are PIAA super whites. The parking lights which you see in the photos are a V-LEDS.com product :

ah. ok ty. they looked a little "non" stock through a pick. I'm just debating getting the 6000K's to match my 6000K fogs and my new LED (on order).....
If you cover up all other lights on the car, except the parking lights at night....DO they illuminate the road in front... anything worth while? or are they just for looks...?

looks only.. those are only on when headlights are on anyway.. I thought about 6000k too but the more i thought about it , i like the white look more than blue and 4300k provides better visability than anything higher that that.. and now i don't need to spend $ on new LowBeam bulbs.. Now I just wish VIAS would get on the ball with the IPOD+XM or IPOD+Video modules so i can make my next upgrade

I just had a customer email me a link to this thread. Here is a shameless bump for some great pictures of our Xtreme HID Conversion kit installed :-)
