You put HIDs in the fogs too? Which bulb kit did you go with? They make different kits for different bulbs so I'm wondering which bulb type you got. H7? Those are H3 style bulbs, I didnt think you could put a HID kit in there because the filament is straight across instead of front to back. Let me know. Maybe I'll do this too. Can you take a pic of the fog pattern only? Thanks. Looks great by the way.

One thing that sucks about HIDs is that all the corner lights look nasty. The only bulbs that can even come close to matching are LEDs.

Nice. Hows the floor pattern for the fogs? Factory? I'm about to put Audi projectors in my factory fogs. My friend has the Audi A8 (Ithink?) projectors that are low beam HID and high beam hid. When you hit the high beam switch the whole inside of the housing moves. Its crazy. I'm afraid to open my headlight though. We'll see. Your car looks dope BTW.

96tl: i think that streeteffectz could do sumtin like that with the projectors... how much are those led's(180 right ) the pattern is crazy how much it covers ... the headlights project out and the 10 feet of dim hid is all covered by the fog and it extends about 30-40 (not exagerating) feet to the sides
Tlover8888: thanx and they are just like the color of the audi HID but brighter... the kit is 550 shipped from StreetEffectz which is where i got them from and there the 6000K system

The LEDs for the front bumber blinkers are $90 each. :wow: They cost so much because each bulb has 24 high intensity LEDs. Actually only superwhite and blue are $90 each, any other color is $45 each. I left Polargs in my blinkers because thats too much money. I think that the parking and corner bumber lights are more important to make LED because they're on all the time. Thats why I changed them. Those 194/168 Wedge bulb LEDs are only $16.50 a pair.

TLover8888, I'm sure Streetz charges a few bucks to install them. Hes gotta make a living.

962.5TL, they look green right! I thought it was just my bulbs. They looked so ugly. They LEDs are MUCH better. Yes the website is autolites.net. They come in a few colors. I went with superwhite.
