HID Foglights

Installed HIDextra.com 5k 25w fog light kit. I thought the kit was going to be "plug and play" which is why I ordered it, but it wasn't. I had to cut the factory connectors off. The lights themselves fit snug in the factory location but I never felt like they clipped in right. I found a pretty good mounting spot for the passenger side ballast and I'm pretty confident the driver's side is in a good spot to. The shipping from HIDextra was extremely fast. The lights aren't super bright, but I think they are fine for fogs.

The kit works great but I wouldn't recommend it for several reasons. 1) This fog light kit is the 5K color, it should be a pure white light. Unfortunately at only 25 watts the fog lights have a blue tint to them. 2) They aren't bright enough, You can turn them on and off with the headlights on and not even notice. 3) they were not plug and play, I had to cut and splice the wires together. I was under the impression that they would plug right into my factory harness when i purchased them.

 

I do recommend the Morimoto HID kit from Theretrofitsource.com, I purchased the Morimoto kit for my low beams. The kit cost 150.00 and has a 5 year warranty. The light output is excellent and the color is exactly what I was after. It comes with relays and is plug and play. The lights warm up to full brightness much quicker than the Hidextra fog light kit i purchased. I run my DRLs and haven't had any issues with the lights.

 

Spend a little extra and get the Morimotos and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
