Last night I noticed that the new bulb was quite a bit brighter than the other one.
Today the passenger side quit. Is 3-4 months the life expectancy of an H3 bulb?  I have read quite a few posts on the subject.
I think I am going to upgrade to HID fogs. Seems the price has come down a bit.
In Twinspoppa's post PhillyX 5 mentioned these http://hidny.com/product.sc?categoryId=37&productId=86
Has anyone else tried them? Are they really P & P? I am not to keen on splicing. Seems Twins had a wrestling match with a cheaper set from DDM.
Any input appreciated! |
Hey,
The wiring connections are all plug and play. The only thing that I modified was rear fog light covers. I had to drill a hole in them for the new wiring but the kit came with the rubber insert that covered that completely when everything was connected (I used some clear silicone all around just in case) Also I left my original connectors/wiring for the fogs intact just in case if I decide to go back to non-xenon but that wont happen - 
I love the xenon fogs and been using them every day for the past two weeks - no problems at all I got 6000K kit with H3 bulbs, perfect match with my xenon headlights.
I will take some pictures tonight...
