Does any one know if the same HIDs that go in the head lights, of a 03 tl, can fit were the fog lights r?

 

man, do a search. this topic has been discussed like 2108512 times.

it can be done but will require modification do the socket or housing and of course you need the ballast and everything..

 

no its more like 2108513 times! man get it straight already!

and yes many have done it before, it just requires a littel modification

 

i might be a little off.....why would someone attempt that....when they could get the correct 9006 bulb type?....or am i not understanding the question?....

 

you are a little off . he wants to get rid of the halogen bulbs and convert the foglight to HID, that way the fogs match the headlights output, look better and are more usefull!

 

Alexx has done it with D2R bases... it wasnt as easy but it worked was cheaper.

 

fsttyms1- i just read your post now when i was searching for stuff---i know that people get HID fogs, that's what i'm trying to do now...hehe, i thought he wanted to have D2R size fog bulbs.... i have a question though, the guy a few posts up said in order to get HID fogs, modification of the housing is needed...is that true?...and what kind of mods?

also, i need a starter/igniter for my HID fogs (along w/ ballast)....right?...where would the igniters go?.....after the stock wire connection to the ballast?

thanks. -shawn

 

some have the ignitor built into the ballast... from experience they can fit right below the stock headlight.... most kits, if not... then in the bumper guard metal thing.

 

hey i found these on ebay....they're hellas, they're brand new....two ballasts including shipping comes to $270. plus $130 for bulbs from somewhere else.$400 for complete HID kit with hella ballasts...

my only question is it says D2R/D2S.....does that mean i can only use them with those bulb types??? that doesn't make sense...

so what plugs into the red things on the end of the ballast wire?

i just need to know if those two ballasts and bulbs will work for a complete kit. i think these hellas have ignitors built in. thanks a lot.

 

okay, a follow-up to my previous post....i emailed the seller of the above auction, and he says to use his hella ballasts for 9006 fog hids, you need this:




This page is the instruction for installation on your existing Hella or Philips HID conversion Kit.

One set of Connecting Jack contains

• 2 Connect wires (HID bulb ~ Ballast): J
• 2 Male sockest: A
• 2 Female sockets: B
• 2 Internal male iron sockets: 1
• 2 Internal female iron sockets: 2
• 4 Rubber rings: R

Installation Flowchart

1. Cut the wire of ballast 2. Put the thicker(white) wire through the hole of rubber ring and connect a male iron socket (1) and then put a male socket (A).
Put the thin(black) wire through the hole of rubber ring and connect a female iron socket (2) and then put a female socket (B).

3. Connect the ballast jacks to the bulb jacks
4. Finished picture





I have never heard of doing this before. This is all just for using hella brand ballasts.....is it worth doing all this conversion stuff, or just get a kit like the one below that has 100% plug and play connectors?? i'm really confused with this ballast quality stuff. i'd really apprecaite it. -shawn

 

anyone know?

 

shawn, u have a # i can call? PM it to me I will answer all ur questions over the phone, much easier.

 

 

Where you see the "Tap at point" is basically where u take the OEM FOG HARNESS + wire to. That is a generic diagram for any car for headlights.

 

wow thats a lot of time and cash to invest in fog lights. (why?)

 

cuz it'll match the headlights, and look better....hopefully
