Hey let me know how you figured out where to put your ballasts for the fog set up because I will be doing this soon when i get my HIDs. Oh, let me know about any other stuff you stumbled upon

I'll get some pics up tomorrow. i mounted both ballasts behind the grille using the 2 bolts that hold the bumper on. since i took off the bumper anyways to install the bulbs, i just figured i'd use those same screw holes to mount the ballast while im screwing the bumper back on. seems to have worked out. also. both the 9006 bulbs that i got didn't fit into the socket because the o-ring that it came with was too thick. it wouldn't clear the socket hole. so luckily i had my old stock 9006 bulbs lying around so i just swapped the o-rings with the stock fog bulbs then they fit just fine. also, only the driver side harness plugs into the relay, the passenger side, you just leave it be. tape it up or something, i need to do this since i just left it dangling. i'll get pics up as soon as i can of the install and how i mounted the ballasts.

Yeah, Im awaiting your images

both ballasts are mounted behind the grille.

as you can see, i used the screw that holds the bumper onto the car and sandwiched the bracket in between it. then mounted the screw back on. only that one screw holds the ballasts for both sides so it may bounce a little bit. but so far, it hasn't bounced hard enough for me to hear it inside the car. you may want to also double side tape the other end of the ballasts down if you'd like. hope this helped.

Dope! Thank you agentorunge... Yeah, at first when I got my first set of hids, I was going to put my ballasts there. This is a great spot for the fogs. Once again, thanks for your help.. :D

Hey guys- just thought I'd share with you something cool I sort of "discovered"...

For years I've been interested in fish eye camera shots but was afraid of spending hundreds, if not thousands, on an SLR and the myriad of lenses that are necessary to exercise the full potential of a good SLR.

So here's the next best thing.

Camera used: Samsung L85 - 8MP camera.
The product:

Purchased where: on ebay naturally.
Cost: $40

Quick summary: The images aren't the sharpest but when the 3264 x 2448 pixel images are dumbed down to 800 x 600 photos for web use, it doesn't look THAT bad. And for only having cost $40, this was a pretty fun addition to my little camera.

Sample shot (please pardon the less than perfect wheel):

Don't know how many of you guys are interested in photography but this was a cheap way to have some fun with a point and shoot camera.
