Default 50watt HID Fogs for under $150 A ROUGH HOW TO GUIDE

hopefully you guys appreciate this, i knew i'd more than likely get a ton of questions if i just posted finished pics of my mods so i took some pics along the way to hopefully answer all the questions I would have gotten anyway. If you still have any ask away

First let me say this isn't an exact how to. I didn't take a million pictures, but more than enough for you to fill in the blanks. If you have some mechanical knowledge, you can see what I did and if interested be able to duplicate pretty easily. It took me about 2 1/2 hours, so with this guide it should take anyone doing it much less.


I wanted functioning HID fogs to match my headlights without dropping a grand. I wanted them to be super bright so I went with a 50watt HID setup, as opposed to a 35w. I should note that the fogs I ordered are probably about 3/4 in smaller in diameter than the stockers, but as you'll see in the pics and in my honest opinion they look just as good as the stockers and definately look like they "belong"

First, here is what I ordered off of ebay

With the exception of some stainless screws and nuts you'll have everything you need here to install. First, to simplify everything and not have to run a seperate switch to the cabin to activate the fogs I decided to have them switch on and off using the power wire from one of the stock driving lights. Meaning they will be on all day, and with the jumper in the fuse box be on at night with the headlights as well. (i'll get into that and how later)

here is everything pulled out of the boxes. One wiring harness, two fogs, two ballasts and two HID bulbs. Look at the chrome V shaped mounting brackets for the fogs, we will be modifying those later.
