Im uploading 90 pics of 8.3megapixels photos...
....so you guys may have to wait till im back at work tomarrow ... unless I log in from home..
but girlfriend is insisting it's our 2yr anniversary or some ****... so I may have to take her out and buy her a hot dog or something... we'll see how it goes...
 
I really like our color with the HID's...
I haven't gotten my vehicle on the road yet since Im rebuilding motor but once I do I think I may need to put in the HID fogs too... (like u did)

1. Did you find the color difference annoying? (I think I may)

2. Did you have any trouble matching the (6500K) color of low beams....?
Im not familiar with HID fogs... do they make them in various colors..? how about 6500K? It is important to me they match if they both are gonna be HID...

3. Were the HID fogs just as easy to install?
 
What bulbs do you have Raudermaster and what Hid Fogs dou you have? Same question as Loco1234 Im not familiar with HID fogs... do they make them in various colors? It is important to me they match if they both are gonna be HID...

Loco...it doesn't matter who made the bulbs. If they say 8k, they're going to be the same color. If they say 6500k, it's going to be the same. If you want HID fog's, just find an H1 kit and ask for the same color as your headlights and you'll be all set. Look at my lights, two, completely different brands, and the bulbs are exactly the same. And as for the fog's, they were easy, but you have to modify the housing to get them in. So far, I believe just me and member Marauder have HID fog's. Thanks to him, I followed his advice and it worked perfectly for me. If you need some help installing them, I would gladly try to give a detailed description on how to go about installing them. ldawg, my headlight kit is made by a company called Sanhua, and my fog's are called Xenon. HID's are made in all different colors. I believe the lowest is 4500k, and the highest is 13 or 15k. 6500k and under is usually a bright white, 8k-10k is a blue color, like mine. And anything higher than 10k is a horrendous purple-ish color that is un-bearable to look at.

Hi,
Got an H1 kit and a 9007 Hi/Lo xenon kit today and will start the install with the H1 kit.
What can you tell me about this housing modification that's needed,
My instructions don't mention it.:(
Thanks, Ron.

ya Im interested to hear about the fog light housing mod aswell...
it will help me decide how soon the fog light HIDs will be coming,......
 
Yea, they won't tell you how to modify it lol. Well, you want to take the whole fog light housing out so you can work on it. Un-screw the case so the glass/plastic piece is dis-connected from the part where the bulb goes. Now, you want to take the OLD H1 halogen bulb, and pull the actual bulb out of the black piece that locks into the casing. Take a hacksaw blade, and CUT the 90* bend clear off. A.K.A the piece that plugs into the wiring harness. ONLY cut that piece off so you'll pretty much just have the locking piece of the bulb left. You'll want to get a Dremel and make the hole a bit bigger so you can slide the HID H1 bulb through the locking black piece. Make sure you don't make the hole HUGE otherwise you'll be better off getting a new piece, or you'll have to use a bunch of silicone to plug up the hole. The way I got my bulb secure, I used "Marauder"'s method by using silicone to make the bulb snug into the black locking piece. Yes, I know it will be a b!tch to remove if the bulb dies, so if you have another method, by all means try it. All you gotta do is just load the back of the bulb up with silicone and make sure it's straight in the housing. Let it dry, try to move it, if it doesn't you succeeded. If so, put more silicone on it and let it dry. Assemble the glass housing back to the backside and re-install. Now all you gotta do is figure out where to mount your ballasts lol. I know it's hard without pictures, and I'm sorry I didn't take any, but once you have it apart, it makes sense. Because when I read Marauder's directions I was lost too, but it's actually quite simple. Good luck!
 
Raudermaster did you have to reaim your headlights? <SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_488538", true); </SCRIPT>
 
Thanks for the info. I wonder why others say they have to reaim the headlights if it is a plug and play?
