HID Fog Light Install

[Bronco Boy]

I finally got my fog lights; Piaa 510SMR's, Piaa lens protectors, and Beamers H3 HID bulbs. Here is the install.....



Pile 'o parts.

Drilled larger holes in the Piaa housings to clear the HID bulbs.

HID bulbs in the new lenses.

The "unclear" stock lamps.

Side shots of the stock lamps.

Lens removed from stock lamp housing.

Piaa housing urethaned to the stock housing. Not pretty, but it works.

Lens protectors stuck to the Piaa lenses.

880 bulb sacrificed and turned into a plug for the HID harness.

Relay base swapped to one with a mounting tab.

Ballasts and ignitors mounted.

Relay mounted.

Lights ready for install.

Fog lights back in place.

And now some "lights on" action.....

Fog lights.

Low beams.

Hi beams.

Not sure why the fogs look so blue in the picture, but they are the same colour as the headlights in real life.

To see all the pics and some more detail, go here to my personal web-page.

Thanks guys. These things are awesome; it is so nice to have some good light for a change. I'll be ordering up some new headlights and clear corners next month. Then I'll really be legit.

how much are the fogs?

Retail is about $300. I see them online for $200-250 ish.

I hear ya. They are glass lenses, which means the best possible light.

No lenses would be best possible light.

Looks good bro, Wish they were a tad bit bigger and filled up the hole more, but they are cool. I put weather stripping around mine to keep them from the slight bounce they had, they also nestled in there pretty nicely too, and show no gap.

Just make sure you put the clear lens protector on to protect from debris..

Rocks + Glass =

Thanks. I was thinking the same way, but I like how they turned out; no vibrations (so far).

Yup. Pic #10, good to get pelted with rocks. :th_laugh-lol3:

I really like how those mount up!!! Alot better than factory too! Check these out too, Blazer Fog Light Stage III Kit - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc They are a little cheaper, but they are a projector instead and they are fully sealed too. Granted they dont bolt up like yours did after you used the old housing, but they do come with brackets.

Have you guys thought about retrofitting projectors into the stock head lights?? I am going to do that to mine here this winter.

Aren't there about 80 threads on this?

Nope. I did see one on the board here a while back.
