300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Big mistake
hid's in the fogs?Will fry them,the socket and the harness!!!!!!!!!!fog beams are short range,low cut,special wave length,special use lights.Why defeat the purpose,they are not driving lights.

Btw if you think the blue light is going to give you more range in the HL system,you are spending a lot of money (what are those hid bulbs,like 100bucks a piece for just the bulb?) going backwards.

You need to go with a quality set check out Stealth Auto. I think they are $200 a pair I had a set from them but returned them as they came in wrong my sport uses H3's H7's are for stock bumper. I dont use my fogs that much anyways so i returned them and got 8000K bulbs for my factory HID's I am very happy with them!

the thing is though i just want ballasts so i can buy bulbs and put them in. you can do that right? i want to get the phillips ultinon bulbs for my fogs and headlamps i need one pair for the headlamps cause they are already hid and i figured id jus buy 2 more bulbs then get ballasts and we are done. are the ballasts usually cheap? cause i always see them in a package with bulbs.
