Sorry if this is alittle off subject, but it will factor in to whether or not i get HID's. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the fogs turn on when using the headlights in auto, and to turn off the "turn feature"?

Light Cut-off
How's the light cut-off and coverage width? From the previous posts, I couldn't tell if the cut-off shown on the picture was from the headlights or the fog lights.
Gary - I was thinking of using a 55W HID ballast but I'm concerned about too much light dispersion if the cut-off is not as clean. As well, what do you think about the additional heat the the 55w will create in the housing? What do you think?

Questions
Gary - Sent you a PM last week but haven't heard from you. Copy of PM below. TIA
Hi Gary,
I am interested in purchasing the projection fog light assembly. I just have a few questions:
1. Do you have anymore pictures of the beam pattern created by the projection fog light?
2. I am planning to use D2S. I'm curious to know if you have to do some sort of retrofit to the light mounting area to fit a D2S bulb? If I remember correctly, these come with 9006's?
3. Can I use a 55w ballast system? Any problems in doing that? Any concerns from the additional heat created by the 55w? Does it have a pretty tight beam pattern?
4. How's the color flicker? Color flicker is the effect the HID projector gives off when its color band flashes in & out of the field of view of an onlooker giving it the purplish color on the edges very similar to the color flicker we have on the AMG/MBZ Bi-xenons.
5. What projection system was used?
6. Do you still have these for sale?

3. Can I use a 55w ballast system? Any problems in doing that? Any concerns from the additional heat created by the 55w? Does it have a pretty tight beam pattern? I don't thnk 55w will be any issue.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I just recieved my new foglight housings last week and was wondering if someone who's done this upgrade could walk me through the install, and let me know what tools I'll need. Thanks

Gary, I think I have an issue with my drivers side light. The beam is SUPER high... and I think I have it adjusted all the way down. Is there any trick to get it down lower?? Maybe shim it with washers somehow?
