Yuke175 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I will get some options up tonight when i get back to my laptop, the reason i do not post many numbers is that each set is custom made to order and can vary.Expensive but cheaper than majority by far... Well worth what i ask for such a quality product. New mustang hid lights are $800 a pop and my sets don't cost that much.Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venomous96 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Brian.... it would basically be doing the same thing we did with your headlights. Except using the Morimoto matchbox projectors instead of the H1. fairly simple to do and now small enough to fit in the fogs. The matchbox projectors were discontinued for a while and recently came back. its a good option if your housings have the depth to mount them.

Brian Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 What do you mean? My issue was everything I saw the housings weren't deep enough to mount the projector in the fog. That the issue you're having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venomous96 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 thats been the main reason i havent done mine yet. I want something to fit inside the housing without having to hack the back of it up in order for it to fit. but, the more i think about it, i think doing the fogs will be a little much. Im still on the fence about how retros look in the sn95 headlights but the amount of light i get makes it worth it. but the fogs, imo, are better left alone. My reasoning for that is this.... its better to leave the fogs as halogens because putting HIDs in them will put too much light directly in front of the car. By doing so, it causes the eye to focus on the very front of the car instead of a few car lengths in front of it like you should. That causes eye strain and diminishes the eyes ability to focus ahead. its a safety issue for the driver because any obstacles such as deer, animals etc. are less likely to be seen in time. Ive done numerous retrofits over the years and ive always deterred people from putting HIDs into fogs for that reason. It also creates a huge amount of glare for oncoming drivers. However, putting an HID based projector in the fogs will reduce the amount of glare drastically, it still distributes the light low to the ground and concentrates it directly in front of the car which, as i said above, distracts the eye to focusing on that instead of out in front of the car where you need to concentrate the most. Im not saying it wont look good or function well, but theres a science to this. lol.Sorry to threadjack...... just wanted to input my .02. BTW, keep up the good work!
