To install driving lights into Foglamp, i don't think its a good idea bro. Besides there will be a lot of modification needed for fitting.
My recommendation, Used stock fog lamp and replace its bulb with HID bulb (like some members' car here). It will light up bright enough like driving lights |

Off topic (sorry OP): Are these MI projectors in your headlights? I just ordered a kit from Garm over the weekend and I'm a little nervous about doing it because I uncovered some people who say that the projectors don't actually throw as much light on the road as the stock halogen reflectors. I purchased the kit with the HIDs because I do a ton of night driving. Can you elaborate a little?
Did you follow Brian/Peter's How To when doing yours? Thx. -C

No, those are not the MI projectors. They are actually from The Retrofit Source. That site sells the parts (projectors, shrouds, bulbs, ballasts, etc), which you need to assemble yourself as well as do the wiring. They are great, but if you haven't done a retrofit, then the MI projectors from Garm are great. The way I did mine are similar to Brian/Peter's how-to, but with some other things done.
I personally don't know anyone around me with the MI projectors to be able to comment on them. I know mine throw a ton more light than the stock halogens, and I'd put mine up against my brother-in-law's G35. |
