So today i finally got my 2010 sx koup's windows tinted 20% all around great price 140. while i was here i asked for 3000k HID fogs they were out of stock so i just got the bulbs and they look ok. LMK what u guys think should i just install real HIDs or is anyone using just the 3000k bulbs?
Btw if you'd like o see im putin a new pic in my album now ...
Thanks - Mike:D

I'd totally go HID fogs.

Do you actually use your fogs or do you mostly leave them on because you like the look? I personally like the look of the fog lights over the function. I would put an LED bulb in there so you can get the color you want and it won't blind people coming towards you.

The fog light bulb is not covered by a shield like the low beam lights so if you were to put an HID bulb in there it's going to be bright as hell which will piss other drivers off and grab the attention of cops.

I've seen MANY pick-up trucks with HID fogs, and even the odd Koup around ehre with HID fogs. My buddy has HID fogs in his Blazer, never a problem if they are aimed right

Oh yeah! On a side note about HID's. There are under cover cruisers here with the Bi-Xenon HID's

They cruise with their halogen lights until they hight the higway and flip on the HID's. Who'd expect it to be a cop when you see HID's coming up behind you?!

I love me so HID fogs .... Except for their glare. That's why I got projector FOGS and quad projector headlights

Not everyone have the know-how, time or possibly even money for quad projector headlights and projector fogs

I'm surpised you haven't got a ticket for having highbeams and fogs on at the same time. Fogs are made to turn offwhen the high beams go on by law, not just for fun. That why every car made to date has the fogs switched off when the highbeams go on

yo sir are a rebel :cool:

^ my fogs go off when my highs come on. And I only use my fogs in bad weather. (I don't even use them anymore cause the quads wash them out. Waiting for 3000k so I can use them in foul weather.


An yes. I know it's illegal to have 6 beams. But hey. I probably have had them on like 3 Tim's in the last moth
