Can someone just take a quick picture of their white clip for me. It seems like the white clip with my fogs has one less pin than the clip on my car. They don't light up and I've already tried switching the ends on the fog. Please help thanks guys!

Here are the finished caps, machined from aluminum, I just sciliconed them on, fortunatly the lights are tapered for a tight fit. Got the HIDs from HIDXtra, they come with this nifty rubber grommet, so we machined the cap to fit that for a perfect water tight seal...


Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Looking good...

Hey I have a question for you guys...I am going to be getting either 3500k HIDs or 2500k Noyka 70w. I am wondering what do you think is gonna attract less attention from cops? I am getting rid of a lot of my more "tuner" stuff cause I am getting too many fix-its.

Then if you are trying to go low profile, I would just go back to stock bulbs, the 70W may burn your harnesses, I think I have heard of something like that happening? Just use some silver star halogens.

Theyre for the fogs not my headlights. I am goning down from 10k HIDs to 5k HIDs for my headlights and I want to do yellow (it legal in Cali) but I am wondering whats gonna be less attractive towards cops? If that makes any sense.

Well they make regular yellow fog light bulbs, that are not HID head turning or glare causing. Some states have laws that say if your car did not come stock with HID and HID projectors they can still issue you a fixit ticket. A yellow H3 bulb will reduce that.

Yep in Cali if your car did not come stock with them they are illegal... I guess what my question should be is...are the Noyka 2500k 70w or 3500k HID brighter? lol

I have a question. Where on Ebay do you find the APT fogs? Every time i search for fogs on Ebay all i end up with is those crappy rip off lights that take up way too much space on your bumper. Help would be appreciated.
