Hey guys, i just refinished my fog lights and i've been trying to match the hids that i have to the fogs and im not finding any halogens that are anywhere near the same color (5500k) so may have to bite the bullet and do an HID conversion for the fogs as well.
With that being said i got a few questions which will dictate if i will be doing the conversion.
Is anyone is using HID bulbs in the stock housing WITHOUT a projector and can give me some info on it. Does it work, does it still provide any usable light, are you blinding other drivers, etc.
I know doing a projector retrofit would be the ideal way to go but i have found very little information on this. I did find a couple of threads pertaining to the earlier year fogs and one that did a retrofit from an ES foglight but the ES lenses are yellow and the whole point of going hid for me is to get rid of the yellow light. So im wondering if anyone has done any projector conversions on the 97 fogs and if you guys can give me some info on what projectors you used and how much it cost you.

Any info would be appreciated.
PS. im putting this into the SC form not the Lighting forum because the issue im having is specific to the SC not a general lighting issue.

Thanks

 

You will want to stick to a halogen bulb. Adding some sort of HID bulb is really going to increase your glare. Just get a halogen bulb with the color you desire. If you're looking for a projector setup on the fog lamps, not even sure thats possible with the front lens being etched, the glare would still be there but not as pronounced as just sticking a HID setup in the stock lamps.
