Fog light HID kit

GooffeeAlero · 08-17-2007, 11:29 PM

i was on ebay today looking for stuff. i came across this HID Kit for an 894 bulb http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/894-8...spagenameZWDVW
i was wondering if any one has tired or put on an hid kit on thier stock fog light housing

kewl i would try to go as low as possible. like a euro/lexus spec. 6000-8000 for normal lights and yellow on fog lights

Well, the problem with putting HIDs in the fog lights is that the fogs were designed for a radial filament bulb. Most HIDs are axial (like the headlight bulbs in the Alero.) It wont' spread the light the correct way and could result in unwanted glare.

I was thinking about getting a HID kit for my ATV, which uses flog light bulbs for lights.

I haven't really searched the threads yet, but what ideas do you guys have for modifing the stock fog lights other then putting in aftermarket ones?

Well as far as HIDs go you just have to kinda match up the bulb type since there's an HID equivalent. IE you can buy a 9005 and 9006 in Halogen or HID.

Thanks!

Only thing to be careful about... sometimes the HID replacements require spacers (usually come with the kit) and don't put like a 50W kit in your fogs b/c it will melt the housing.

where can i get this spacer you speak of?

It typically comes with the kit. If not I'm not sure. My friend buys/sells HID kits so he just gave me one.
