Are these the correct HID fog lights?

[Newlin]

I noticed the other night that one of my fog lights is out so I figured while I was getting a replacement I should get HIDs. Are these the correct ones?

894 Bulbs are what you need yes.. You need a ballast with that as well. You should buy them from DDM. They're larger company in the US that offers lifetime warranty. A lot of people on here that have HIDs are using these and have had very little issues. For the fogs, you're going to want the 35W ballast because it's a smaller enclosure.

So I pick the 35w model, the 880/881 etc..., and then what do I want for the color? 6000k?

This can all be wired into the existing light enclosure then, correct?

yes they are plug n play, meaning hooks to stock plugs and blah blah blah....

color is up to you.... do you want more looks? or more for actually seeing at night?

i suggest 6000k or 8000k. 6k is best visibility but i got 8k in my headlights and love it.

[Newlin]

More for seeing at night. Deer are a bit of a problem where I live, though my fogs probably wont get much use since my brights will be on. (Which I should also get HIDs for)

If you get hid's for your low beams and fog lights you probably wont use yiur high beams again...
Imho if you want visibility for night go with either 4300 or 5000k bulbs...

[Newlin]

Couldn't I just get HIDs for my high beams as well as the lows or is that redundant?

Are the 4300s yellow or not quite? I'd like to avoid that while still getting good lighting.

again. im rocking dual hids

6000k 35w low beams, 5000k 55w high beams. when on low beam, just the low beams are on, go to high beams, lows stay on, dont even flicker, then the high beams kick in. the low beams never flicker, or nothing. bright as hell

[Newlin]

Can you point me to what you bought specifically for that? And did you have to do additional wiring to get both headlights on at once?

you need 9006 and 9007 hid kits. and yeah he made it to where both stay on at once.

If you are running HIDs in the fogs, the correct way to go is 3000k. Also only do 35w as a 55w would heat up too much in that small housing. Not a lot of people have it, but I strongly recommend the wiring harness for an HID kit. its an extra $15, but it will charge the ballast faster and won't risk frying the stock wiring. I used to run 35w 6000k in my lows and fogs and I loved it, but ended up switching to a different setup because the fog housing was cracked and leaking.

Here is my original setup:

I'm thinking that for down the road and then 4500k (Edit: 35 watt) for the fogs.

Do I need a wiring harness for each HID set of lights? Let me rephrase that, if I am going to use the HID harness do I need one for each set of lights?

Off topic, but I absolutely love you guys for the plethora of information and help I have at my finger tips.

[jhubbz]

If you decide to use wiring harnesses, yes you would need one harness per kit. ex, if you did your fogs, hi's and low's, you would need three harnesses. Again, they are not totally necessary, but I use them, and noticed immediately how quickly the ballasts charge since they are juiced directly from the battery.

I also recommend a dedicated relay harness for HIDs.
One relay harness runs two ballasts. so if you're putting HIDs in your lo beams, you'll need one relay harness. HIDs in both low beams and fogs; two relay harnesses. HIDs in fogs, lows and highs? Don't be silly.
I have 3000K HIDs (35W) in my fogs.

Are the 3000k yellow in color? I'm trying to stay somewhat away from that while still maintaining the best lighting I can.

Is there anything else I should be worried about down the road after installing all three kits?

[xXManwhoreXx]

I would go with yellow hids because while they are not the brightest they offer the best night visibility, because on the light scale yellow makes it all the way through your retnea, while blue tends to sit on the iris and tires out your eye quicker

[JLw7123]

On my car now I have 3000k 35w for my fogs and they are great. I also have 6000k 35w and I plan to get 4300k highs. It I have the wiring harnesses.

[Newlin]

The 3000k seem to be pretty popular for the fogs, does anyone have pictures of how those look on their alero? That'd be great.

Not to take the thread off topic but I noticed in jhubbz's picture that he has a mesh screen over his lights and radiator and I was looking at mine which for some reason doesn't have that. I'm kind of worried since that would make it all too easy for a rock to come up and hit my radiator.

[03glgold]

that mesh is a mod...they didn't come with it from the factory
