do you guys realize that by putting HID bulbs in the stock halogen housings, you are creating more glare for oncoming traffic? and if you go with a temperature rating with more than 4-5k, you are actually REDUCING light output?
but its "s00per koo" to have blue lights right? ...
you guys might not realize it, but a lot of engineering goes into the precise placement of every angle of reflectors in your headlight. when you put HIDs into your stock halogen housings, the placement of the filament (not really a filament in HIDs, but you get what im saying) will be off and the light will not be reflected as designed, causing more glare.
and i would NEVER use HIDs in a fog light unless the car was designed for it. the glare from HID fogs is even worse and you risk melting your bumper.

to do HIDs right you need to do 1 of 2 things. get full HID headlight housings, or retrofit the proper lenses into your existing housings. since i dont think either of these is an option for these cars (did any fortes come stock with HIDs? or even profectors?), your best bet for increasing light output and not annoying the heck out of other drivers is to just get better halogen bulbs. and dont get bulbs with colored coatings, they just further reduce light output.

do what daniel stern says. he knows what he's talking about.
not my car, im not dumb enough to put HIDs in my fog lights. it was just an example pic.
really if you spend less than like 500 on an HID kit, you bought a cheap hacked up knockoff. its not even about wires. the main problem with halogen retofits is that the housings are completely wrong for the HID bulb and its unique light pattern. all the retrofits are just bulbs, wires and ballasts. you NEED the correct housing/lens regardless of the quality of the rest of the rest of the kid.
but no one wants to listen, they just wanna be k00 with they 50 dollar blue ebay kit.
read the links i posted. really, youll be amazed.
not sure who michael is...
just trying to break all you guys' ricer mentality when it comes to these cheap HID kits.
i can settle this argument really fast.......WHO GIVES A F*CK!!!
they want to put HID's in thier car.... let them, you want to start a world wide campagne to stop the use of illegal HID kits... go for it. who cares!!!
this argument could have been easily avoided if the person who started the thread used the SEARCH BUTTON!!!!

Just trying to get my facts straight, but you post an unrelated picture of a melted foglight housing and bumper, then go on to say that its irresponsible to run a HID bulb in a Hallogen housing? Do you even know the actual story behind the picture, or did you google "melted bumper"?not my car, im not dumb enough to put HIDs in my fog lights. it was just an example pic.
