Looks good. Clean your front bumper =]

 

Looks good. How difficult was it to get to the headlight bulbs without removing the headlights?

 

Why is this in here?

 

It wasn't that hard. Just had to remove a black plastic cap covering the bulbs. the caps have a screw on it just feel for it and unscrew it with a short screwdriver.

haha yeah i gotta clean that bumper, freaking 3M clear bra

 

why you removed the front bumper for get this job done?? Looks very good , foglights and headlights match very good!!!

 

Thanks JDM. I've read through the forums that removing bumper makes the HID fog install a lot easier and smoother. Took me 10 mins to take off and 5 mins to put back on.
I also had to replace the FUSE of the fog lights in the fuse box.

the 10 amp was blowing up. i popped in a 20 amp and it worked fine. Not sure if its safe but it hasn't caused any problems yet.

 

OP...read this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/dash-harness-fried-my-type-s-827505/

Doubling fuses when they are blowing is a major issue and should not be done IMO

 

a relay harness is no more than 10 bucks and offers peace of mind, and is easy to install. I'd do it.

 

I agree with lucnex....you should never uppp the fuse or double it....and let me help you with the images:

 

Be careful using non OEM bulbs.. they have been known to get too hot and burn the chrome bowl of your projector and over time you will have hotspots.

 

Definitely buy the relay man. I used the same kit.

Regarding the chrome, that's what JnC said as well. I have it in my upper fog right now. I only used the 35 watts but suspect that it's hotter than the OEM bulbs.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be looking into a relay (after i google to see what that actually is... )

 

I'll def look into that as well and see if it does get amazingly hot.

 

Looks great. Definitely clean that front bumper.

 

Damn you look just like a buddy of mine. Had to take a double look.

Looks good.

 

Haha
@guitar yeah i needa clean it still... probably tomorrow.

 

lol it sucks that you have to take out the entire bumper to just install lights on a TL! what were the manufacturer thinking

 

^^ they were thinking no one would ever want to change the beautiful 3000k bulbs we put into our fogs from the factory.....clearly they have never been on Acurazine.

 

Nice job.

 

looks nice!

 

Got most of it off. Clear Bra still on the side mirrors and lip of the bumper... WIll work on those soon.

 

did you really get a 55Watt Kit? If yes, monitor the housing and make sure you don't melt them!

 

I did get the 55W.
I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
I drove for 4 hrs at night after a short road trip.
I didn't notice anything

 

Alright i finally got some night shots of my Fogs just to show the difference.
Hope these pictures help.
Fogs OFF

Fogs ON

Fogs OFF

Fogs ON (Sorry blurry picture) =\

its a mean lookin son of a gun.

 

i replaced mine with a 15amp when i did mine. has been about 4years now. no issues.

 

Thanks for the info. I might down it to 15. LOL
But im still lookin into relay

 

Your setup looks sick, man! This'll probably be my first official mod...thanks for the inspiration, bro!

 

THE 55w MELTED MY HOUSING! =\
yeah i just looked today and saw that the reflecting housing was peeling off on 1 side!
how should i go about fixing this?
Anyway i can keep the 55w or do i have to switch to a 35w?
this sucks =\

 

ARGH!

 

i can only see one way of fixing this: go 35w and replace affected fog light.

 

looks good. great job

 

keeping the 55 watt would definitely not solve your problem.

Sorry to hear!

 

This doesn't surprise me to see this happen. I've been told by Matt from TRS that our projectors would be able to support 55w systems, take your 55w ballasts, replace the OEM ones and buy some 55W hid bulbs for your projectors.

 

for the ballast where did you put it?

 

I tucked it into the front frame of the car.
