my driver side fog went out so i might as well change them both

anyone have reliability issues with these? and how well do they bleed out onto the road thanks

 

Mine were reliable. the yellow output is really nice. They were running strong for 2 years until i got into a minor front end accident. I was able to save one of the bulbs since they were no damage done to it. I gave it to my cousin and he is using them on his accord to this day..


Back when they were on my car

 

I have them as well, I'm a big fan. no issues with them for me, but i've only had them for a few months. Theres a good amount of yellow on the road from them too.

 

I've got those.

Ran the Nokya 7000k white for about a year, then changed to the yellow. I think I've had the yellow or about 2 years.

No issues with either set. (I have the H8 for the '07/'08, fyi)

 

I got those as fall back bulbs if my HID fogs burn out. They seem to be fine for fog lights. I've used them only to test the HID harness so far.

 

Those are good from what everyone says. If u are looking for something much more yellow, and looks yellow at every angle when standing infront of the car and facing the fogs than I suggest Hoen Endurance bulbs. They cost about $47 shipped though. People say that when standing at certain angles in front of the car, the nokya yellows don't look as yellow. They look more washed out.

 

nice, seems like everyone is doing well with these. I just ordered mine =)

thanks

 

Nokya Yellows FTW!

I've been using them in my accord fogs since August and they are great!

 

gp16 can you take pics from the front please

 

I definitely can!

Not today though sorry.

My car is caked with salt and dirt.

 

The Hoen Endurance are worth every penny. I ran them in my TL, wife's Pilot, and currently running them in my M45. Below is a quick pic of them in my M45.

 

DC2MANY:

HID's ??? why are you not looking into those ? better output and cheap ($30-40 shipped)

 

I didn't really bother to look too far into it because i'd figure "they're just fog lights" so yea.

future whole lighting swap will change the fogs eventually.

which hid did you have in mind for fog? wouldn't i need a ballast?


and nuuuuu almost regretted my decision made me think "damn why didn't i do that" but I will stop myself from thinking further as I could have made many regrettable decisions lately lolll

 

Yes, you need ballasts.

Plug and play kits included everything.

DDM Tuning is a great place.

 

lol poop, i forgot all about them =< I had them on my old integra 90r20y203yh why must i regret a decision LOL

 

^^^ now your looking in the right direction

 

How many ballast can be fit in the engine bay for all the lights?

Wonder if amazon can cancel my order... or i'll just have that 20 some saved dollars put towards my next light upgrade

meh, the fogs will be bright "Enough" and its a "good enough deal" for the item. Or so i tell myself

 

LOL you can fit as many as you want....but how many do you want and why do you want sooo many LOL

your headlights have stock ballast which are tucked in pretty well....your upper fogs will need ballast if your going HID's in them....and your lower Accord fogs will need ballast....

so all in all 4 ballast for both sides....

i dont recommend/like HID's in upper fogs....but thats just me....

 

dc2manyfogs jk lol I don't know maybe i'm not well rested and say weird stuff here and there lolss well brb need to eat and be awake for class and work...

 

i have the nokyas on my TL right now and they are great and seem to last
a very long time (2yrs now)...of course i only turn them on during rainy/foggy/stormy days .

also had them on my RDX.. (mind u, the rdx required 55W version) so they may have been brighter.

 

Do you guys put on yellow overlays as well? Or is the bulb alone able to give a good enough yellow light on its own?

 

bulb alone. the yellow cover also absorbs some of the output making them dimmer.

 

Bulbs alone for me.
Nice and yellow.
I'll have more pics soon.

 

On my old 08 TL-S I placed yellow plexiglas between the bumper cover and fog lens. So, used OEM bulbs. Very yellow through the plexiglas and unparalleled protection from flying rocks and debris.

 

$40 shipped from where?? I checked DDM the other day. $40 for slim ballast. $15 for relay harness. $15 for shipping.

$40 - Slim HIDs
$15 - relay harness
$15 - ground shipping
___
$70 shipped!

If you opt for the cheaper, but bigger "raptor" style ballasts the total would be $60 shipped instead of $70

 

^^^ LOL what website are you at ?

http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit

Raptor kit is $30 and shipping is $15....you dont need any harness, the kit comes with everything

Also, PM HIDEXTRA, they might have something (sale) going on....

EDIT: for 35W kit....I personally think 55W is overkill....love the 35W kit I have on my car

 

You run HIDs in your fogs without a harness? I feel uneasy about doing that. Heard a story about a girl on here that put HID kit in her fogs without running a relay harness and ended up frying her whole electrical system less than a week later. She had to take it to the dealership and ended up having to pay to fix it.

What "K" HIDs do you have in your fogs?

 

^^^ I have 8000K and my Accord fogs came with an inline 20A fuse....

The reason the girl/guy messed up everything was because the shop that installed the fogs for her increased the Amp rating on the fuse....I think they replaced a 20A fuse with a 30A or 35A and hence messing the electrical system....

EDIT: I think we are talking about the same person....the shop installed something wrong, the fuse kept popping....so they replaced a 20A fuse with 30A which fried her electricals and he/she had to take it to the dealer....

 

I ran Xentec ebay hid's in my 07 TL-S and ran them as my DRL's w/ no issues for over a year. With the relay harness the kit was about $40. Installed the same kit in my 01 Cobra, wife's previous 08 pilot and 06 TSX without a relay harness for about $30 with no issues. All were 35watt kits also.

 

omfg... this bulb is a fucking pitfa

I spent a little over an hour and only was able to get the driver side, that took forever had a friend try and it wouldn't budge. MMA heavy weight buff as hell... I some how managed to get it pulling upwards with as much force and body weight possible

passenger side wouldn't budge and I was getting too tired... left that alone. I feel like i should not be revisiting the bulb...

 

^ lol I know what your sayin on that one. when I changed mine out for the Nokya yellows they weren't too bad. but then, I stumbled upon the Hoen Endurance fogs and got those. that time changing out was the PITA.

if you got the Nokyas and want a decent yellow fog, you'll like them for awhile. I liked them but they seemed a lil too dull for my liking. got the Hoens and love every minute of them.

 

my friend and i today decided to try again. changed intake and cabin filter too while at it. Fog light bulb got out! bad news is

dropped a screw driver in the bay and its lodged under the intake arm... and the fog bulb fell to the bottom too... FML

whats the best, quickest, easiest, most efficient way to get dropped stuff out...

also started the car without the intake sensor plugged in and surged a bit. not harmful for the car right? it was idle surging for less than a minute or 30 sec. damn being in a hurry fucks up a lot of shit sometimes...

thanks

 

As far as the Fog Bulb removal: you released the wire harness clip first right? Then turn the bulb socket 1/4 turn and remove?

If you don't remove the wire harness clip first, it's almost impossible to turn the bulb socket.

As far as the sensor/surging, no, I won't be a problem, but you may have a CEL for a while. If so, it'll go away with something like 30 minutes of driving.

To get your screwdriver and bulb you need to partially remove the plastic protective under-tray. Crawl up under the car and release a few clips to get one side off, then reach in and retrieve your mis-placed stuff.
