The Only Fog Light Thread You Should Ever Post In

A good sanding and some adhesion promoter.

I've had that happen before with plastic lenses.  Those Nokya bulbs get pretty hot.  Your best bet is to go back to glass lenses if you want to use those bulbs.

S
Yeah they do. I held a sheet of lexan to a flame and it didn't seem to be affected. I want to avoid the glass lense as mine broke within two days of installation. If this doesn't workout I'll go back to halogen bulbs and use yellow polycarbonate sheets

That might be your best bet man.

So question for the wiring pros.

I have a 2003 EX and I currently have the OEM fog lights with OEM harness that I had installed a few years ago and last night just picked up a set of retrofitted fog lights with Lexus IS300 projectors that I would like to have run independently so I could use the fog lights as DRL in addition to not have them flick on and off when I switch to my high beams.  Any advice/input is greatly appreciated and thank you in advanced!

Here's how you do it:

So in the off-season, I'd like to throw in some HIDs for my Inspire-style fogs.  Anyone have any recommendations on a ballast and bulb brand that's good bang for the buck?  I don't need suggestions on what type of light color I'm going for, just recommendations on brands or kits.  Thanks team.

Can't go wrong with the morimoto stuff from TRS.

I have the "Stanley" stamped replicas on mine and the glare like a mofo (I have DDM 35w 3000k). I mean, I have 'em pretty low and I am definitely blinding other drivers lol.

[striktlyaccord]

I assume you need some sort of adapters to make the hids pnp for the fog housings?

[CYANiDE]

What do you mean by adapters? Just get an H11 HID kit, it will work fine. The problem is you don't have a shield over the bulb, so the glare is really crazy. I've seen some places that sell "shielded HID bulbs" but I think its more of a gimmick than actually doing anything.

[CrackerTeg]

^This.

[striktlyaccord]

My brain is off when I post sometimes.  Was thinking AMP -> D2S connectors for some reason.

[striktlyaccord]

Still looking for decent pnp HID bulbs, prolly 5,000k.  Who's running what in their fogs?  Give impressions / pics.  I'm a visual learner.

I would recommend morimoto 3five for the fog lights they are worth every penny and highly reliable .the slim built in igniters makes a easy clean install. I like there design  technology  over most competitors,

[CrackerTeg]

Agreed. I'm currently running DDM tuning 35w 5000k in my fogs but when they die, the morimotos will take their place.
