Some friends of mine have HID fogs and they ____ me off every time. Driving in front of them or driving towards them. The problem is not that we are looking at their bright HIDs...the actual problem is that in "EVERY & ALL" directions we look at while driving that stupid glare gets in the way. Seriously, it was so bad and annoying that it looked like someone got a light saber and started slashing my windshield.

These foglights have no adjustments at all, they just pop into the bumper opening and that's it, besides connecting all the wiring, etc.

Has anyone had theirs get stuck with Customs? I probably won't be getting mine till next week when I ordered them last Thursday. They were with Customs in Cali for about three days.

It's all good. I got them in time before the bad weather and installed them today. I dremeled out the lip so they can fit in there correctly. Must up on the passenger side a little by cutting too much but it's no big deal. I wish my Nokya bulbs were a lot more yellow and brighter though. Other than that the install was cake. I'll post pictures later.

Only shot I have of mine so far. Decided to try the Hella bulbs from Advance Auto thinking they'd output white like the H.I.D. look it claims. Do not get them if you want a white/Xenon H.I.D. look, the color is like the bulbs that come with it looking at other's pics

I don't understand why in a lot of pictures with those who have Nokya 2500K bulbs installed that they are so bright and yellow. Mine seem pretty dim.

Could it just be that I'm running 55w bulbs? I bought Nokya Hyper Yellows by the way.

^ I have Nokya hyper yellows too (2500k, 55w). They look fine to me, they are not suppose to be super bright, after all they are halogen bulbs.

It's just cause a lot of photos online seem to be misleading. Plus my friend has fogs on her Fit that are brighter than mine and is using the stock bulbs.

i guess what we can do is just email him on ebay with high demand or link him to this thread so he can see how high of a demand those lights are.
