Would using some hid in some projector foglights be feasable?
I want some more lighting but i dont want to spend 700$ on some projectors, and dont realy want to blind incoming traffic.

I think it would be bright enough, but idk if anyone has done it.
I figured with this group buy there doing this is a good time to ask.
Also what fogs would work well?

ok, tap into one of the wires right there by your drivers side low beam, use some scotch locks if your lazy, then hook them up to the relay and then to your switch inside, that way your are kinda "legal" for having your fogs work in conjunction with your low beams as most laws state, plus they turn off with your car, the radio wire hes talking about is the red one that goes to your radio

yellow - always on
red - on only when the key is
black - ground

all others are for speakers, remotes, antennas, etc

if you want to be able to drive around with JUST your fog lights go to the radio, otherwise go to the parking lights to have them be able to come on when they are on or the low beams or whatever. unless your hooking up an amp, its usually a good idead to not hook stuff up to the battery cuz you can easily leave them on wink.gif

hope that helps, i can get you a diagram or two of how to wire everything if you need some help
