here are the links for the fog lights and HID bulbs. It seems though the place Mikeevo pointed out is a lot cheaper, but I do not know the shipping costs or time to receive.

shipping is free,,,, they say usually 2 weeks. I ordered min 10 days ago. I will let you know when they arrive. he did email me when they shipped and said it takes 10-18 days. I will try them for the cost savings, others on here use them thats how I found them.

What is the difference between:
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/LED-Fog-Dri...9006_sku46.htm

and

http://www.carpartslights.com/2-x-ca...-12v-p-14.html

Cost is fairly substantial...
I would add
http://store.ijdmtoy.com/50W-Load-Re...d_resistor.htm

To both of them.... Thank you !

wow carpartlights.com has a good price. I ordered the 8-led city light error-free for around $30 from ebay (ijdmtoy). I think you can order the 2-led one for $12.99 at http://www.carpartslights.com/pair-m...error-p-7.html

Plus for the license plate light, you can order this one http://www.carpartslights.com/pair-n...-w203-p-9.html for $12.99 instead of the $30 offered by ijdmtoy. They both error-free and the 36mm definitely will work on the license plate. How I know? I ordered the $5 license plate led from ebay but it's giving me error. So I just ordered the $12.99 from carpartlights. So thanks for the link!

decisions... HID or SMD LED....

I also remember reading if you install HID fogs, you need a capacitor or HID might not fire up? Anyone know for sure?

Anyone got an idea on this??
UPDATE: I had a severed wire on trunk support bundle. Now fixed.

just got mine yesterday. installed today . simple nice error free. white light not super bright but good enough when dark. slow shipping but you can follow the shipping from USPS he sends you to know its coming. has little heat sink and all. I will try the fogs next. just dont be in a hurry.

I tried my 68SMD LED fogs - and they don't work ....
I even used the recommended resistors from same company...

They flash on for one second and then turn off.

Now I need to troubleshoot - great !!

So out of curiosity why not just do HID's in the fogs and citylights? I think I want the city lights to be HID's if I can. Anyone try that yet?

Cost factor. Plus the HID's are pretty bright. Maybe too bright and might blind oncoming traffic.

I purchase from jack and he sent me the 9005 instead of 9006. i got them to fit and they did not work. Lights came on once then off. I emailed him and have not heard back. I will update once he responds.

maybe you got 9005 , not the 9006 as the other guy did. did you check you bulb closely.

Thanks in advance

Where did you get the HID's from?

Can someone please post the exact install process for resistors ?
My install guy knows the program, but I want to show directions to him - just in case.

Mine come on for like half a second, then turn off immediately. There is then a message in dash stating check fog lights.

Thanks in advance

LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS - DIFFERENT STYLES

Hello all, I have these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/No-Er...item27aea06c82

Work great, but to be honest - they are not very bright.

Wondering if these other "brands" would have different results - or are even worth any extra money....

Thanks in advance
