HID+FOG LIGHTS = dont match?

hey all,
just wondering about aftermarket HIDs. Two questions that come to mind ;

1) anyone who has fitted HIDs, have you found that the left light seems to be too pointed upwards and to the left. i have tried to correct the problem but i have no idea how to center them correctly.

2) since i have 8000k blue HIDS fitted, what globe would be blue and bright enough to install into the fog light. the factory globes looks wayyyy silly because they are too yellow ( or maybe my lights are too blue hehehe)

cheers!!!! :wave:

Many lights are fitted off to the left so you can actually see what's off on the kerb side. It's the old fashioned version of lights that now swivel around the corner. A lot of country drivers will swing them even more so you can see what's way off the road (and about to run into your car!)

Don't go changing the fog light bulbs to match the HID's, the fog lights will be useless under foggy conditions.

agreed about the color mismatch. Euros with blue type xenon lights, and 'yellow' fog lights just look odd

Yellow colour helps you to see better in white snowy conditions or fog... Hence it's called a FOG LIGHT ..... :)

I've got yellow bulbs in my fogs now. Nice in the rain and fog as i can see a bit more clearly as the HID's just light it right up and it just reflects.

I can understand the mismatch but it looks quite nice, the bright HID's with the yellow underneath. Even the bright LED's i have for parkers that are white, but look blue because it's so concentrated haha

I like the colour contrast with the blue HIDs and the yellow fogs too!

Anyway know where can I get aftermarket HID globes? and for how much $?
I am probably looking for 6000-6500k.

you should be able to buy the globes from most places, however they are expensive... like $500-$1000 a set depending on how high u want the K to go. There are also 2 types of bulbs for the HID. i can't remember which bulb it is, whether it is the d2s or the d2r. I think it was the d2r.. but you should definately try and get a confirmation first :)

if u wanna match, get some HIDs for ur fogs.

seen some cars done tat. but not sure the for hondas.

Then why have fog lights?
Anyway people shouldn't be having them on when there's no fog

I only use mine in heavy rain and foggy conditions.

However the yellow bulbs (most of them) are better on the eyes as opposed to those who get bright white fogs - which don't do anything in the rain/fog. They're just plain annoying and eye candy.

As bad as those idiots who use their rear foglight in clear conditions at night. And no.. they can't be *accidentally* turned on. Some people are just plain inconsiderate and stupid. I say that in the nicest way :)

In SA you can get booked for driving with your fogs on unless you're in bad weather, dim (unlit streets) conditions or on a highway...

Hear, hear to the rear fogs comment in normal weather!
