New HID Projector Fog Kit? Anyone running this??

Anyone else running the Projector Fog light kits??

Light output is (sorry to say) better than the headlights but properly designed as a fog light (Low cut off) H7 HID (6000K) with very bright 6000K halo

I like them.. I have the "Clear" Kit.. I hear there is also a "Smoked" kit

No offense, but it looks terrible imo. But if you like it who cares what I think!

Love or hate the halos, the projector fogs are serious pieces of gear. They throw out some serious light; good for those dark roads.

Pictures don't do it justice, but for sure its a matter of taste.

Personally, I would never do a roof spoiler

Denroll.. both our profile pics have the old bumper. Need that fixed ASAP

I'm running LED bulbs in the stock housings. I wonder how big of a difference there is...

Might look cool to night shade the led ring. More stealthy. But I'm curious about them. Deets brosefs!

That tinted windshield of mine could use some more light in front of it. and respectful light not like HIDs in a halogen housing.

Pics never do anything justice so I'm sure they look better in person. I just don't like that they don't sit flush (at least that's the way the pics make them look).

Denroll's are tinted - Mine are clear

His car is all blacked out so I did them "Stealthy" His is getting a detail, so maybe he can post pics.

I custom made these two set ups. The ring could actually have been recessed into the new "Ring Housing" but I opted to poke them out a little

Denroll put a switch on his, I run mine as DRL.. I know its not everyone's bag of tea, but I really do like them. Enough to make assbite a set and send them to him LOL

Denroll, do some pics once they wipe the mud off your beater

I just realized, the picture of the ring was V1. I totally replacesd that light ring as well as the LED behind it. The new one is much less obtrusive (sticky-outy)

I'm going to do some night shots tomorrow after they wipe off the snail trails from all the moist vagoos that have been grinding all over the car.

which LED bulbs did you end up running? CREE?
edit: nvm I saw the post - those are pretty cheap for CREE!

any shots of the light out the front of the car at night?



and for everyone thinking about it = bulb sizes:

E55 = 9006
E63 = H7

Driving on some dark desert roads, the extra light output is greatly appreciated. I was concerned that they might be too bright for oncoming traffic, but I have not been flashed yet. Here are some krunk-*** phone pics.

Low beams:




Low beams with fogs:




High beams:




Low beams and fogs from down the street:

Looks like the fog lights are shining onto on-coming traffic. It lights up more houses than the high beams
