Headlight & Foglight recommendations

[fg3_colton]

I'm looking for any suggestions on headlight and foglight bulbs. Looking for something that shoots light out further without blinding oncoming drivers, and without a pricey projector retrofit. Currently I have 6K HID's with the standard H11 Halogen fog lights.

You're not going to get any better than hid bulbs without getting a projector retrofit.

And since you already have the hids then a retro won't be that much more. Most of the cost of doing a retro is the hids.

Really? These were only $35 lol. There's a local shop that sells HID kits and a bunch of other stuff. They've lasted 3 years now. My problem is, as much as I would love to do a retrofit, im not crafty at all.

A retrofit is not hard it just takes time, there are some great DIY's online that show you step by step, morimoto mini h1 projectors are your best bet but you can also use some generic h1 mini projectors from the retrofitsource which are about half the cost of the brand name ones and they are pretty bright, I have dealt with both in the past and they perform really nice.

Same size as the Mini H1 projector but costs much, much less. They also have "super" ones that they state are of slightly higher quality but cost goes up. Still a good bargain though.

He'd still have to buy a new set of hids to run those. Those need h1 hid bulbs.

Oh. Did not think of that.

All he needs are the h1 bulbs, TRS has some on sale usually, the same hid kit can be used.

If you wanna spend a little more, get the minh h1 7.0, their bowl capable of 50-55 watts hids, you can see much further. I have the mini h1 5.0 and i cant use the 55 watts... it'll melt the bowl.

Bought these for my foglights last night, should be here on Saturday, I'll post comparison pictures for y'all. The halogens were just too dim.

Sorry for the late reply, work and school had me rather busy these past few days. Anyway, I have some good news and bad news. Bad news, those LED's I first purchased were utter ****. You could hardly tell they were on, that's mostly my fault because I neglected to get bulbs with a built in projector. Good news. I found a set from JDM Astar that are awesome. Nice and bright and they come very close to matching my headlights in terms of color while also being very bright and do a great job at projecting light far and pretty much everywhere. Highly recommend these for those who like functional and good looking LED foglights.
