Do you guys notice that you get pulled over more often with them on? Or that they bring on a tad bit too much attention (negative at that)? I've noticed that EVERY time I've gotten pulled over, the fog lights have been on. I'm pretty sure it calls too much attention to the car and what I'm really worried about is putting them on the M3.

I saw that they sold these PIAA Tera LED's for the fogs and I don't know if anyone has tried them. I want something more subtle for the M3 or ****, I can actually swap out the HID's from the w203 and put them in the M and put something else in the C230k b/c they're the same bulb (9006).

I dont care if I get pulled over everyday for it .I love mine and I can see the road prob one the best mods ever
!!!

 

i never got pulled over...even with my 12000K fogs

 

why do you get pulled over for? i mean i have HID fogs too, ive never got pulled over as of yet. HID kits dont even look brighter they just have a different colour than the regular halogen bulbs I bought a HID kit (9006) bcos the pictures you guys show make them look so0o bright lol

 

Really? I can BARELY tell the difference when they are on. I think that they are purely cosmetic. I actually don't drive with them on since they do so little. I just love the way they look when I hit unlock on my remote at night while approaching the car

 

i'm putting on HID fogs next weekend...
will have to see it myself how it looks... if it looks more like stock xenons, it should be fine... long time ago, i had aftermarket PIAA fog kit installed and got pulled over by a cop...

 

speeding... I think it calls more attention to the car.

that's my favorite part as well! I can tell when they're on, but it really doesn't make that much of a diff w/BIX.

 

hid fogs all the way

 

is it really THAT bright in person? pictures make HID lights seem like there 3 times brighter than regular halogens, i have HID fogs and they didnt make a difference, not one bit. It just changed the colour to white/blueish.

 

Right

 

I never even remember to put on my fogs and when I do I find that bright green light annoying. Switch is kept in Auto all the time.

 

Ive got 10000K HID headlights and it really seems brighter. I didn't use to get flashed with the halogens and now i do and there adjusted in the same place. I really like them and would get fogs if didnt hit a d*mn sign and knock it loose.

 

who cares if the po po pulls you over. they're just jealous with what kind of car you have. anyway i know ppl with quad foglights like ggong5150 with the brabus front bumper and he has 8k or 10k fogs....rememeber he has quad fogs too!!!

 

you start to care when you get pulled over 6 times in a year... (even with the V1) and your car isn't exactly up to spec b/c of tint in the front windows, no front plate, and painted sidemarkers (the M3).

 

just curious.. do the cops pull you over when there like right behind you or beside you:S .. or do they spott you from like a not toooo far distance? up north, popo dont even bother looking on the road there too busy checking license plate numbers on there computers lol

 

You're begging for trouble. I have a cop friend in CA, and he pulls over every person he sees something out of code, like no front plate, tint, trailer hitch partially blocking licence plate, wheels sticking out w/o mud flaps, etc. He doesn't site people for it, but it is probably cause for a pull over. I used to think he was a dick for doing it, but it is perfectly legal, and he catches a TON of DUIs. Most of his DUI arrests are intially a vehicle code pull over.

EDIT: that is his PROBABLE cause for pull over, not probably

 

that's why I don't want to call any more attention to myself. I see people rolling around with full limo tint on their front windows, no license plates at all (there's this one woman in my office garage that has had her 2005 C230K with the dealer paper plates for 2 years already and full tint). I don't get it.

well, it's not like all those times stuck to my record.

 

HID fog 8000k, never get pull over. but yes i do get TONS of attention

 

are you sure its the fogs? maybe you're just ridin dirty hahaha

 

i never niticed this before unitl after i installed hid on my fogs - does the foglight turn off when you switch to highbeams? mine does now.

 

yes. it switches off. even with the stockers...

ridin diiirrrty

 

Cop= Pull Over Nice Car!!
Nice Car = Pull Over To Girls!!
MB DriveR = Do Your Freaking Job!!!

 

Wait you got HID fogs in your CLK?? How the hell do you fit a bulb in there? I've been wanting to do it on my E55 AMG but the rounded fog lights (same as yours) are too short...HId bulbs are too long to fit in... what's your secret?!

 

i forgot what i did to my old setup but i had hid's...i think i made some custom rubber piece to protect the bulb if it was sticking out a little...it worked...

i got pulled over before of my lighting system before......hid fogs and headlights and because of that i got tint and front plate tickets but since i've had my yellow fogs i'm ok but then again cops love to pull over fixed up cars since they think the owners have money to pay for the tickets since they got money to fic up there rides

 

No, they're pulling you over because you're breaking the vehicle code, and hoping to bust you for something larger at the same time, like DUI
