i have a acura tl 2011 w/ tech and i want to install a hid kit for the fog lights i want to buy the morimoto 3FIVE but idk what harness type i need to get. HD relay or canbus or can i just install with no harness? i ALWAYS drive my car w my headlights & fog lights on. what do you guys recommend?

 

Go with the HD relay.

 

Have any of you guys had issues with the HID burning the fog lens? I'm just worried about that.

 

I have been using Maxlux 35w HIDs in my Fog lights since last fall. They are 4300K and have a very wide angle light. So far, no issues.

I dont think they get too hot. Not more than your Halogen bulbs. So far, I do not see any issue with the Fog light lens or the cover. Lets hope it stays that way.

Here is the link to my post and some pictures:

Newbie question - Where do I find the "DIY Sticky" that is occasionally referred to in posts?

 

^usually at the top of the page




see them?
they're labeled "sticky"

 

p.s. ALways use a relay with HID fogs.

 

Nope.
I can't seem to be able to insert an image (screenshot/SnipIt) of what I see. I'll try looking for stickies at the top of the page when I get home (newer browser).

 

How about for the DRL/Highbeam? I'm planning to get a Morimoto kit for them as well. I'll need the canbus right?

 

Had a hid kit installed in my fogs for a couple months before I decided to switch to Morimoto led type S fogs. The problem with the hid kit was they were too bright and I had oncoming drivers flashing their high beams at me a handful of times, maybe I needed to aim my fogs very low to the ground. No melting issues just that they were too bright to use with a reflector set up. Right now I am glad I got the LED fogs, they have a nice cut off, more efficient, longer life, natural 5k color and more important no more blinding people.
