I'd put them in mine but my fogs are starting to melt and if I pulled a bulb out, I don't think I'd get another bulb to stay in correctly. So I'm going to need new housings.

You would have no issues. But they won't provide any usable light. These would be mostly for looks.

Exactly. Except I used two bolts and two locking nuts. Either way it still works great.

Are these the aluminum housing with glass lens as well?

im pretty sure they are considering he runs hids also

Alright. Well if anyone has before and after pics of light output with just the HID foglights that would be appriciated. Along with the color temp of the bulb.

35w 6k

I'm leaning toward 5K or 6K. Also a 55W would be brighter than a 35W and if I would go 55W would I need to rewire anything to do it?

55w also produce more heat that could potentially cause the chrome to flake (didn't see what dogs you were running and also shorten the lifespan of your bulbs. IMO if your set on hids stick to 55 watts and no you do not need to rewire it I would run a harness though.

I haven't really decided on the fogs I will be getting yet. Not going to use the stock ones for sure. I don't want to run around replacing bulbs all the time either. I may look into the 35W if that gives the bulbs more life.

35w is PLENTY. 35 fogs 35 headlights= sun never went down

Cuz that's my car and both are on.

Cuz there is nothing to protect the back of the fog housing and bulb like there is on the driver side. I ended up using vinyl flooring mat to make a splash shield.

Okay I guess it kind of makes sense. I'll keep it in mind when I put in HIDs.

Does anyone have past experience with these? Hella H71010451 Optilux 2500 Angel Eye Fog Lamp Kit Round

Are they decent for the money and will fit my needs do you think?

I have them. The reason I got them was because I wanted a light with a clear lens. I don't have the halo's hooked up but from what I saw, they aren't that bright from far away. The halo is lit by two 194's size LEDs back to back. They perform just like any other driving light.
