Default Re: putting HID lights into the DRL fog lamps slot

Been thinking of doing that too. I had them on my dually in the fogs. The fogs on that truck are smaller than the H2 drl. Never had the slightest problem with heat or melting, they ran perfect. I forget the size I put on, h-something if I recall, lot smaller than the 9007s.

yea man those are sweet! Where did you buy them? What kind? Did you use the stock fog light assembly that was already on the truck and modify it to HID?

I just put HID into the 08 h2 but want to do somethign with the fogs:

No sh*t.

If you're thinking of actually replacing the DRL's with HID's then you'll need to remove the plastic valence and cut out the back side of the DRL light buckets. You'll then need to drill holes through the top of the bumper so the HID's can be properly secured.
I'd recommend going with these PIAAs.
PIAA 600HID

I just don't think spending $1200 for those lights is worth the money when you can buy HID lights for $100 on ebay and with experience comparing them to other OEM HID lights theyre just as good. Those lights are WAY overpriced.

OK I just bought these for $20 to test them out. I want them to be similar in color to my HIDs:


I will let you guys know how they work out and take some pictures. If I don't like em that much I'll throw em on one of my limos and get something else. I think they should be real nice.

"Velocity LED Super Refractor bulbs have 18 forward firing LEDs and 6 radial firing on the bottom layer, this fills out the lens much better than standard forward firing LED bulbs. Color is simular to white/blue HID lighting found on many high-end cars. Will also work in all 3156 applications."
