Default Converted cornering lights to fogs, with some led upgrades

So I finally got around to making my cornering lights into the "fog" lights. I've been wanting to do this for a while and now that I ordered my 6000k hid's, I'm wanting my lighting to be set for when they arrive

I also bought led parking light bulbs, and I ended up having 2 extra's and I just decided to change my license plate bulbs for the heck of it! I think it all turned out pretty nice!

(Oh yeah, excuse the toilets in the first pic, had some extra's from my work that I volunteered to take)

Thanks! I spliced into my parking lights, really simple, took me about 10 minutes each side.

This looks like mine. I just upgraded to the 55 watt HID's, and boy let me tell you how much brighter they are compared to the 35 watt standard ones. Nice upgrade.

Yeah I just got the 35 watt, I haven't really heard good things about 55 watts but maybe if I feel the need to upgrade in the future I will! What color did you get? 6000k or what?

I just used some cheap 1156 bulbs off of Amazon. Cost me like $20 for the pair. Not to bad for how bright they are!

I actually got the 5000K this time. I had the 6000K, but I wanted a little bit better visibility.

Alright little update! My HID's finally arrived from DDM Tuning. Came in a package from China and doesn't look too bad actually. Only thing I have to say is that shipping took a while I think just about 2 weeks but that's to be expected from China I guess. Also, I never received a tracking number and had to email customer support and waited 2 days for them to respond with my tracking number.

Going to wait until tomorrow to install them! And don't worry, will have some pics for all of you!

The bulb number is 194. It's a small wedge type bulb. They are the same kind of bulbs as the parking lights and honestly the license plate lights are the easiest bulbs to change in the world, just take off one plastic piece and its done!

Yeah it really does help the overall look of the car, and I didn't want all my colors to be mismatched when my hid's came in so I went ahead and tried out some led's and they ended up being quite nice.
