Goliat6288 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Does any one have HID foglights? If you do where did you put the ballast? I have 35watt foglights and my driverside foglight ballast fell off on the highway bout 7 months ago. I just bought another one and wanted to know where you guys put yours.

Troutman Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm sure the Good Don will have something to contribute. Non-slimline ballasts I presume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliat6288 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 the one that fell off was slim... but the replacement is non slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 You should not be using HID in the fogs, they make any car look very cheap and ricery, even with proper 4300k's used. Any ballast should be screwed down, double sided tape just doesn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 On the flip side, fog lights are useless for there (sic) intended purpose without the output of HID. If you don't like the colour temp you can get sub-4300k ones. I never found a proper space for mine, they were just sitting there behind the headlights on the side, wherever I could find space. I don't see how they could fall out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoN_BLaZe34 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 when i had my hid fogs the ballasts were under the hood and behind the headlights like trout's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Just because you think its ricey cool doesn't make me wrong or you right, HID's should never be used in fogs, besides being very unclassy and ricey fogs are aimmed differently, provide much less shielding, and generally don't even handle halogens well. Those are not opinions, they are facts of the game, the same way I tell people not to use HID's in reflector housings. Again, you know I'm right, but some people want to be stupid and cool to asians then being right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ballast should be screwed down, double sided tape just doesn't do it. i only agree with one thing in this statement... it should be screwed down. Just because you think its ricey cool doesn't make me wrong or you right, HID's should never be used in fogs, besides being very unclassy and ricey fogs are aimmed differently, provide much less shielding, and generally don't even handle halogens well.

Again, you know I'm right, but some people want to be stupid and cool to asians then being right just because you think its ricey doesnt make you right and me wrong. i like the milly with HID fogs... i think that a milly with HID headlights and halogen fogs looks horrible. So i put HID in my fogs. i do accept i dont NEED them but i like how it looks. Makes it look classy not ricey cool. IMO ricey cool would of been the pink headlight with yellow fogs or some other weird combo. Regular colored headlights like 4300K - 6000K HIDs and the really bright yellow fogs are acceptable, only because the have grownon me never really liked them though. But that my opinion.

///BHRpowered Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I'm always right, I'm BHR I do not gain opinions, like a logical non obama supporting immortal I simply take all facts and select the best, that is why ANY part I install or choose is the best because I only want the best and its all I care about, nothing eles means anything except having the best whatever it may be you like it huh, well ricers like blue lights and xbox, does that magically make thm right? NO, the millenia looks good with HID low beams, ANY car with HID fogs is just unclassy and ghetto rice, why ruin the name of hte millenia with other nappy headed ghetto rats are already working overtime on that?

///BHRpowered Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm right, and you know I'm right. On a highly related story, the cheap ebay kits are cheap for a reason, I used my 3000k which is in my offroad lenses, within 10 seconds of being used in the rain there no longer working. For someone ghetto enough to place ballasts near the fogs nice and low I see this being an even bigger problem. Perhaps that is lord syn's way of making sure you don't use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliat6288 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 mine still work. the new ballast has been put higher in the car inside the fender. all i need is the wiring harness that goes from the ballast to the H3 connection the car brings. now to wait 3-4 weeks for them to arrive from hong kong.

///BHRpowered Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 you ordered some hella cheap extreme rice hid's. either way there should be no connector, H3 leads should just be spliced into a 9006 style connector to go into ballasts and ONLY AN IDIOT would run the ballasts directly from the bulb wiring, you NEVER EVER do that, its rice and really cuts the life of ballasts, HID's need to be run directly off the battery with the proper wiring harness and relay with only the remote turn on lead going to the bulb wiring. I'v been dealing with HID's since you were still trying to go racing on PS1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
